Researchers uncovered how diverse brain cells coordinate to make decisions. Using a computational model, they showed how ...

Instead of relying on a single neuron, the brain uses the pattern of activity across many neurons to encode information to ...

video: This live footage of transparent C. elegans embryos shows how a developing sensory neuron gets its shape. After the neuron drops anchor at the tip of the worm’s nose, the cell body crawls ...

As artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and virtual agents become part of everyday life—from customer service and health ...

Scientists divide thousands of different neurons into groups based on function and shape. Let's discuss neuron anatomy and how it varies.

Researchers have now shown that, despite individual differences in neuron activity, a shared underlying structure guides the ...

Every neuron type is searchable and cross-referenced in a spatially accurate digital framework. This architecture allows researchers to test how visual features like motion, shape, or brightness ...

A new study from the Allen Institute for Brain Science describes a large profile of mouse neuron types based on two important characteristics of the cells: their 3D shape and their electrical ...

Scientists Show How A Neuron Gets Its Shape Date: April 13, 2009 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: For the brain to work, neurons have to be connected in the right places.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Ask a simple question, get a simple answer: When Abraham Lincoln was asked how long a man’s legs should be, he absurdly replied, “Long enough to reach the ground.” Now, by ...
