While the role of the blood-brain barrier has long been appreciated for its ability to maintain precise control over what molecules can enter the nervous system, very little is known about how the ...
Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume—a breakthrough ...
Ferroptosis, a type of cell death, may help maintain neuron balance in the hippocampus, supporting memory, learning and brain ...
Star-shaped cells called astrocytes may bear the brunt of the responsibility for exacerbating the symptoms of some neurodevelopmental disorders. Scientists have now identified a molecule produced by ...
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 processing speed of 10 ...
Researchers have made a surprising discovery linking Delta/Notch signaling in subperineurial glia (SPG) to the regulation of nerve ensheathment and neurotransmitter release at the Drosophila ...
LA JOLLA (August 30, 2022)—Neurons often get most of the credit for keeping our brains sharp and functioning—as well as most of the blame when it comes to brain diseases. But star-shaped cells called ...
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 ...
