A novel electrode platform detects dopamine from single living brain organoids in real time, enabling non-destructive ...

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

Neuronal calcium sensors (NCS) comprise a pivotal family of EF‐hand calcium‐binding proteins that translate transient fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ into specific cellular responses. These ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Closely related dopamine-releasing neurons in the olfactory bulb behave in fundamentally different ways depending on their physical structure.

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, ...

Exercise, therefore, is potentially able to improve the brain's capacity to respond to insulin for neuronal function, he said ...

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the current situation. A new study shows that neural variability increases ...
