International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...

Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

Scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) and the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated how astrocytic glial cells in the brain can play a major role in ...

Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

In the current issue of Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology published on December 16th, 2020, a research team led by Prof. Gong Chen at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China, reported an ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...
