Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. The findings ...

Mirror neurons received significant media attention in the 2000s and were painted by some scientists as the key to many of our advanced social abilities. However, many of the more significant ...

Neurons balance energy efficiency by regulating protein synthesis based on molecular properties like stability and size.

These ensembles are coordinated groups of neurons firing together in specific regions of the brain, including the visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortices. Their activity patterns aren’t ...

Sodium action potentials can propagate somatofugally into the dendritic tree of cortical pyramidal neurons 1, as shown by electrophysiology and optical imaging of [Ca 2+] in brain slices (for ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Researchers have identified neurons in mice that can induce a hibernation-like state by controlling the brain-heart-gut axis. Activation of these neurons reduces ...

Mar. 2, 2021 — High-resolution imaging and 3D computer modeling show that the dendrites of neurons weave through space in a way that balances their need to connect to other neurons with the ...
