Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

The authors have performed a potentially valuable new kind of analysis in connectomics, mapping to an interesting developmental problem of synaptic input to sensory neurons. While the analysis itself ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

During the peer-review process the editor and reviewers write an eLife assessment that summarises the significance of the findings reported in the article (on a scale ranging from landmark to useful) ...

SINGAPORE, July 21, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Leading international e-scooter operators Beam Mobility, opens new tab and Neuron Mobility, opens new tab have signed a preliminary agreement, opens new tab ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

At 15 years old, Sammy considered himself an expert on cannabis. When I asked what he knew about how marijuana interacts with the brain, he confidently explained, “THC activates cannabinoid receptors ...

Abstract: In a chemical synapse, information flow occurs via the release of neurotransmitters from a presynaptic neuron that triggers an action potential (AP) in the postsynaptic neuron. At its core, ...
