Cut off any part of this worm's body and it will regrow. This is the spectacular yet mysterious regenerative ability of ...

During development, two coordinated events shape the morphology of the mammalian ... balance of intercellular adhesive and repulsive signaling that takes place between neurons interacting with ...

With the strong associations established in epidemiologic studies and a dearth of evidence on the actual mechanisms by which ...

due to the presence of inhibitory synapses between the red and blue neurons. More importantly, the synaptic connections tend to make these two neurons fire synchronously, but only if their inputs ...

Intimate' is the perfect choice for a romantic date night, a fun Galentine’s gathering, or a memorable evening with loved ...

In this work, we adopt the view that information resides in hidden states of a neural circuit (Stokes, 2015) and is expressed by facilitated synapses between ... neurons, ensuring that only one memory ...

By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Advancements could enhance perceptual capabilities in robotics. Artificially engineered biological processes, such as ...

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

Enter SynPull, a new synaptosome imaging method developed by David Klenerman, John Danial, and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, England. SynPull combines single-molecule pull-down of ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...
