While E. Josie Clowney would never suggest that neuroscience is simple, a new study by her team at the University of Michigan ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

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 ...

The structure, made of repeating rings of proteins, was previously known for helping neurons maintain their shape. The scientists said they now understand it plays a far more active role by deciding ...
