Japanese researchers trained cultured rat cortical neurons to autonomously generate complex temporal signals using a ...

What is the Cnpy1 protein? New research reveals how the Canopy1 protein allows vomeronasal neurons to survive high ER-stress.

When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...

Your brain’s “stop eating” signal may come from an unexpected source. Researchers found that astrocytes—once thought to just support neurons—actually play a key role in controlling appetite. After a ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Researchers in Japan have trained rat neurons to perform real-time machine learning tasks, moving computing into biological territory. The system uses cultured neurons connected to hardware to ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...

Husniye Kantarci was part of a team that discovered the role of glial cells in controlling neural development, learning and numerous diseases. Husniye Kantarci and Brad Zuchero (left to right) and ...

Inhibiting an overabundant enzyme saved a key component of a brain signaling pathway that is vital for motor control in a new mouse study, bolstering the prospects for the biotechs currently targeting ...
