A small population of nerve cells appears to be responsible for blood flow and neural activity across the entire brain, ...

Note: The video above shows a three-dimensional rotating view of three different cell types in the retina. The Campana cell (center) is shown flanked by two other cell classes that it is similar to, a ...

The gut-brain connection is a complicated two-way signaling cascade that is responsible for keeping the digestive system working properly and can cause problems when it breaks down. In a study in mice ...

Transcriptomic comparisons reveal shared classes of neuron types "We profiled over 280,000 cells from the brain of Pogona and identified 233 distinct types of neurons", explains David Hain, graduate ...

As a result, it is now possible to print thousands of transistors on a flexible substrate and use them to develop artificial nerve cells. In the newly developed artificial neuron, ions are used to ...

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH—Scientists at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah have discovered a new type of nerve cell, or neuron, in the retina. In the central nervous system a complex ...
