Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear ...

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and ...

Existing three-dimensional (3D) neuronal culture technology has limitations in brain research due to the difficulty of precisely replicating the brain's complex multilayered structure and the lack of ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a light-sensitive nanoscale structure that mimics a neuron in information ...

A new study proves individual human cortical neurons have the computational complexity of an entire deep artificial neural ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and ...

Nanoscale structure made from inorganic material could be used to improve artificial retinas and to make AI more efficient.
