Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...
The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...
A new study proves individual human cortical neurons have the computational complexity of an entire deep artificial neural ...
The researchers say our neurons' cognitive potency comes from its unique structure. Compared to those of other mammals, human ...
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that individual cells in the human ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...
Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...
Nanoscale structure made from inorganic material could be used to improve artificial retinas and to make AI more efficient.
