Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that individual cells in the human ...
Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...
A small device that senses light and reacts like a brain cell could change how machines see and think. Built at the nanoscale ...
While E. Josie Clowney would never suggest that neuroscience is simple, a new study by her team at the University of Michigan could drastically reduce complexity in future studies. Their work focused ...
