Scientists have discovered a specialized group of spinal cord interneurons that help regulate breathing when the body faces challenges like high carbon dioxide levels.

In a global first, Dr. Kremkow's team was able to simultaneously capture the activity of nerve cells in the retina and their synaptically connected target neurons in the midbrain.

Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have found a new type of neuron that guides its formation. The discovery, described in the May 23, 2024, issue of Cell, could one day lead to new therapies for ...

Motor neurons are nerve cells in your brain and spinal cord that control movement. They tell your muscles to squeeze (or "contract") so you can walk, talk, and move your body.

Model produced with 3D printer In the current study, the researchers used human stem cells generated from skin and programmed to become motor neuron progenitors, a type of immature nerve cell that can ...

NO SIGNS In a study of human brains, young nerve cells (green) were visible in the memory-related hippocampus of a newborn (left), but were rare in a sample from a 13-year-old (center).

To study these neuron-changing effects, the researchers first tested the effects of various psychedelic drugs on rat neurons in petri dishes. They found that most of these drugs — including LSD ...

A team of researchers have built a vision implant with tiny electrodes the size of a neuron, seeking to help blind people see again. The development of vision implants first emerged in the 1990s.

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 ...

The Newly Identified Campana Cell Could Play a Role in Visual Signal Processing Scientists at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah have discovered a new type of nerve cell, or neuron ...
