Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing ...

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, ...

The brain is the body's command center, and neurons are the workhorses that carry out its commands. They transmit signals ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.

Scientists have identified neurons that are active when mouse pups interact with their mothers, appearing to reduce their distress. The same neurons may also be involved in human mother-child bonding.

UC Santa Barbara researchers confirmed that parts of the neural network that inhibit movement in fruit flies plays a ...

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.
