"This is because different cell types repair DNA damage, such as the cuts made by Cas9, in completely distinct ways." The authors reasoned that the unique DNA repair toolkit of neurons might change ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Certain cells, commonly called excitable cells, are unique because of their ability to generate electrical signals. Although ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

What is the neural basis of our perceptual experience? Simultaneous recordings from many individual neurons in humans provide surprising insights into how odours are processed in different regions of ...
