Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau - a protein known ...

The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected ...

Direction selectivity concerning animal survival was critical for the artificial visual system to perceive complex environments. In this letter, we constructed artificial neurons to simulate direction ...

A collaborative study led by Professor Vittoria Raffa at the University of Pisa and Assistant Professor Fabian Raudzus ...

In the complex world of neuroscience, Huntington's disease remains a cruel mystery. It slowly strips away a person’s ability ...
