Researchers discovered that variations in kinesin motor proteins control selective cargo transport in neurons, enabling ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations. This ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a chance to refuel. In everyday life, we learn to link cues we sense with what ...

How do neurons transport proteins? A new study reveals that Kinesin-2 motor subtypes regulate cargo specificity.

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sents between neurons -- specialized cells ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

Researchers in Japan have trained rat neurons to perform real-time machine learning tasks, moving computing into biological territory. The system uses cultured neurons connected to hardware to ...

A hidden mechanism in MS may be damaging neurons at their genetic core, offering a potential new way to slow the disease.
