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 ...
When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...
Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and Aarhus University have found a mechanism through which the gene variant APOE4, long linked to a high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, impairs neuronal ...
A study has described how a gene mutation linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disrupts the stability of neurons and “chokes off” their nuclei, impairing their function. The research, ...
A research group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States has announced that it has developed a flexible thin-film material that can change shape when exposed to light ...
Exercise, therefore, is potentially able to improve the brain’s capacity to respond to insulin for neuronal function, he said. Insulin is a hormone increasingly recognized to regulate cognition, the ...
Scientists have discovered a mechanism called excitation-mitochondrial DNA transcription coupling (E-TCmito) that links neuronal activity to mitochondrial function. This mechanism plays a critical ...
Scientists have shown that specialized cells involved in how the body responds to insulin are activated in the brain after exercise, suggesting that physical activity may directly improve brain ...
