The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www.springernature.com/us). Scientific ...

You could say Guyton Elementary Art Teacher Marcie Crosby is teaching students the art of saying “Thank You.” We caught up with Ms. Crosby showing her fifth graders how to make the perfect circle for ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Juicing has a long history, but, by removing fiber, it eliminates one of the most important nutrients in food. Here’s a ...

A method for genetically barcoding Drosophila is developed and used to tag defined cell populations in vivo for single-cell transcriptomics experiments and to enable multiplexed behavioral analysis.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

When Jeanne began to seriously consider taking Zepbound, one of the new-generation weight-loss drugs, she had the briefest of ...
