Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

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 ...

The speed at which our neurons communicate with each other changes as we age and may increase in some regions of the brain. A better understanding of how neuron transmission speeds vary throughout a ...

Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
