This study demonstrates the critical role of Afadin on the generation and maintenance of complex cellular layers in the mouse retina. The data are solid, which provides important insights into how ...

Motor neuron disease usually refers to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but it can also refer to other kind of neurodegenerative disease that affect the motor neurons, such as progressive primary ...

It's lined with mucous and helps regulate pressure around the eardrum so that sound waves can be transferred. Ears can vary, so what's considered normal anatomy of the inner or outer ear in one person ...

The integumentary system is the body’s outermost layer. Composed of skin, hair, nails, glands, and nerves, its main job is to protect your insides from elements in your environment, like pollution and ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI ...

Pyramidal-neuron dendrites contain voltage-gated channels that can influence synaptic integration. These channels can also support backpropagating action potentials and dendritically initiated spikes.

However, imitating high-level brain functions, such as imagination and inference, pose several challenges as they are relevant to a particular type of noise in a biological neuron network.

These fibers carry sensory information to the spinal cord, where it can be relayed to the brain and processed. The experiments compared three distinct types of DRG neuron and found that they differed ...

A neuromodulated synapse must therefore be informed in an efficient way about the neuromodulatory signal, which is typically generated by a population of neurons located on different machines than ...
