Neuropixels Opto is a single probe combining electrophysiology and optogenetics that simultaneously records and controls ...

Ferroptosis, a type of cell death, may help maintain neuron balance in the hippocampus, supporting memory, learning and brain ...

The brain contains many cell types, from the prominent neurons to the lesser-known microglia. The latter are integral to the brain's immune system and play a crucial role as the brain's cleanup crew.

Different brain regions are connected by—and interact through—networks of neurons. But the extent to which neuronal wiring drives shared function between these different regions is not well understood ...

Neurons carry vital signals all over our body, and the nervous system controls many crucial functions, from breathing to digestion to movement. It’s long been thought that neurons were mostly powered ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems has increased the demand for new hardware components that could speed up data analysis while consuming less power. As ...

Rugby league player Jai Arrow’s recently announced diagnosis of motor neurone disease has again brought this devastating disease to public attention. Motor neurone disease is relatively rare, with ...
