Octopus arms have an axial nerve cord built in repeating segments, the first case of nervous system segmentation documented ...
Findings from a new study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons suggest that the ...
Mice use almost completely distinct sets of neurons for their two different types of vocalizations—the squeaks they produce when in distress or fighting and the whistle-like ultrasonic vocalizations ...
Why does staying awake inevitably make us sleepy? Researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have identified ...
Proprioception, the body’s quiet sense of position and movement, depends on sensory neurons that are genetically programmed ...
Most of our brain's 100 billion neurons are created before we're born, but the trickle of neurons created in the adult brain ...
Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a pattern of gene expression that can be used to predict whether or ...
A study published in Science on Feb. 1 reported a comprehensive database of single-neuron projectomes consisting of over 10,000 mouse hippocampal neurons, thus revealing the spatial connectivity ...
Two clusters of neurons in the brains of mice seem to create the drive to get some shuteye, potentially hinting at a new ...
In frontotemporal dementia, degeneration of neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain leads to impairments in behavior, speech and movement. However, it has become evident that other ...
