Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...

The structure, made of repeating rings of proteins, was previously known for helping neurons maintain their shape. The scientists said they now understand it plays a far more active role by deciding ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

While E. Josie Clowney would never suggest that neuroscience is simple, a new study by her team at the University of Michigan could drastically reduce complexity in future studies. Their work focused ...
