Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Understanding the connection between behavior and brain cell activity is a major goal of neuroscience. To make progress, ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Super-resolution microscopes have revealed a whole new type of connection between neurons in mouse and human brains. In the lab, Johns Hopkins University neuroscientist Minhyeok Chang and colleagues ...

The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

Harvard researchers built a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip packed with 4,096 microhole electrode arrays, allowing them to record electrical activity across several neural cells.

When you finish a run, your muscles may feel like they did all the work. But researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to a study led by Stanford Medicine researchers. The ...

How do we make decisions? Or rather, how do our neurons make decisions for us? Do individual neurons have a strong say or is the voice in the neural collective? One way to think about this question is ...
