Researchers in the UK and Italy believe a breakthrough in treatment of motor disorders, such as epilepsy or Parkinson’s disease, may be possible and with electronic neuron interface devices fabricated ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

QRL-101, an oral small molecule being developed by QurAlis, was safe and reduced nerve-cell overactivity in ALS patients in ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

Glutamate, often called the brain's "workhorse," is crucial for communication in the central nervous system (CNS). As the main excitatory neurotransmitter, it activates neurons, helping us learn, ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University. Knowledge of how the ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...
