Researchers discovered that a lattice-like skeleton beneath neuron membranes regulates endocytosis, controlling nutrient and protein uptake.

The neuron’s inner scaffold, once viewed as static support, now looks like a gatekeeper. Research findings are available online in the journal Science Advances. The original story “ ‘Gatekeeper’ ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...

“It is not necessary for your brain to change in order to bond with your baby, nor is it enough for your brain to change in order to do so.” Susana Carmona, neuroscientist ...

Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...

The year 2022 has been declared by Pedro Sanchez, President of Spain, as the Year of Ramon y Cajal on the 170th anniversary of his birth. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience is celebrating it by ...

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 ...

Abstract: Artificial neurons based on antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin Hall oscillators (SHOs) are promising elements for creating ultra-fast, energy-efficient neuromorphic computing systems. These ...

Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and School of Advanced Computing have developed artificial neurons that replicate the complex electrochemical behavior of biological brain cells.
