While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they ...

Researchers modeled long-term iron accumulation in neurons and identified chronoferroptosis. Chronic exposure reduced ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple to proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...

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

Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...
