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...
Scientists discovered three new type of neurons in ear
The human brain is made up of a complex network of neurons. These neurons serve as the building blocks of the nervous system, transmitting...
Most interesting quest for neuronal origins
The cerebral cortex comprises a substantial assorted variety of neurons, each showing particular qualities regarding atomic, morphological and utilitarian highlights. Yet, where are these...
Improvement of neurotrophic factor signalling may may enhance memory functions
There are various treatments that improve brain neurotrophic factor signaling to improve memory functions in Alzheimer’s disease. But a new research by the University of Eastern Finland...
A novel approach for deep brain stimulation
Optogenetics is a generally received research procedure in the field of neuroscience that makes utilization of visible light to actuate or restrain neurons in...
