Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified a brain-immune system pathway that could potentially ...

When a person thinks, speaks, eats, walks, or just sits comfortably with all bodily systems functioning normally, the billions of cells that make up the brain and the rest of the nervous system are ...

New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...

A team of researchers shows how proteins called 'chaperones' are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When this neurotransmission breaks down, devastating diseases such ...

Scientists define five types of colon neurons specialized for sending different signals to the brain. The gut-brain connection is a complicated two-way signaling cascade that is responsible for ...

Flash and Freeze-fracture. (1) A flash of light stimulates neurons in a brain sample, which is followed by immediate freezing of the tissue. (2) The frozen brain tissue is broken/fractured and ...

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the brain, but so far experts have agreed that our thoughts, feelings and behavior are the result of billions of interconnected neurons that transmit signals to ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...
