When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded.

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

The research group of Prof. Sanjiv Luther at the Department of Immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

A new machine learning tool called PhysMAP separates the electrical signatures of different cell types, offering a new way to ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

Imaging is a critical technique in biology—from identifying cancerous cells in biopsies to observing how immune cells like ...

Investigating conserved signaling pathways in different cell types shows that memory is not a unique property of neurons. In neurons, serotonin kicks off a series of signaling events when it binds to ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...
