Scientists unveiled the first steps in the construction of vision
By decoding the genetic mechanisms that control the neurons of the visual system, researchers at UNIGE are unveiling the first steps in the construction of vision, paving the way for regenerative eye medicine.
A new drug could revolutionize the treatment of neurological disorders
The international team of scientists from Gero Discovery LLC, the Institute of Biomedical Research of Salamanca, and Nanosyn, Inc. has found a potential drug...
How memories form and fade?
Strong memories are encoded by teams of neurons working together in synchrony.
Direct toxic action of beta-amyloid identified
Scientists have identified early cellular dysfunction in Alzheimer's patients who have already developed clinical symptoms contain large clumps of the protein beta-amyloid, known as plaques.
Dendrites: Neurons’ antennae are unexpectedly active in neural computation
The nervous system serves as the manager of the body since it controls the functions of every other system. It communicates with bodily systems...
Scientists pinpointed brain area where value decisions are made
Neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego have recently located the brain area that makes valuable decisions based on past experiences. That brain...
Scientists identified neurons in mice that encode sweetness
The gustatory system is the sensory system responsible for the perception of taste and flavor. In mice, taste signals are relayed by multiple brain...
Mindreading neurons simulate decisions of social partners
A previously unknown type of neuron has been identified by scientists at the University of Cambridge, that actively and spontaneously simulates mental decision processes...
How neurons interact between brain areas?
Most brain functions involve interactions among multiple, distinct areas or nuclei. Yet our understanding of how populations of neurons in interconnected brain areas communicate is...
