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 ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

But the most striking discovery was that the structure will also break itself, the researchers said. They found that accelerated endocytosis could weaken the lattice and set off a positive feedback ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...
