Researchers at Brown’s Carney Institute for Brain Science identified a pair of neurons that integrate sweet and bitter ...

Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

Scientists found that SELK are directly connected to taste receptor neurons. This connection means SELKs receive taste ...

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A neuron made in the lab now works almost like one in the body. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

A team led by HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer has created a detailed, cell-by-cell map of the spinal cord that offers a new framework for understanding chronic pain and provides a powerful new ...

Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.
