A textbook-diagram-like image of a monkey's neurons firing after looking at another monkey eating a banana is a classic ...

New research from UAB reveals how tau seeds spread through connected neurons in Alzheimer’s disease. Findings show that ...

Neurons form intricate shapes and networks, which may display sexual differences. Pinpointing these changes at the single-cell level, however, is challenging. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the PVD neuron ...

Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial connectomes in mammals, involving the mapping of the network of neurons and ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...

A clump of human brain cells can play the classic computer game Doom. While its performance is not up to par with humans, experts say it brings biological computers a step closer to useful real-world ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

Take a look at gameplay and more from Neuron Activation in this trailer for the upcoming frantic rhythm-puzzle game filled with micro-challenges. Push buttons, flip switches, shoot targets and more in ...

Motor neurons are some of the largest cells in the human body. In particular, upper neurons—extending from the cerebral cortex to the brain stem or spinal cord—average 60μm in diameter. 3,4 These ...
