The recognition of Cajal's 'neuron doctrine' (rewarded with the ... and they obtained evidence for membrane hyperpolarization and amplification of the response, neither of which could be simply ...

A striking feature specific to MCH/CART− neurons found in our study is the H-current. H-current is mediated by the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide gated (HCN) channels, which are ...

The initial hyperpolarization effect may be followed by a subsequent ... illustrating the enhanced ephaptic coupling, due to enlarged neuron terminals (boutons). Here the source and target neurons are ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...

Researchers have identified the mitochondrial calcium uniporter as a critical protein in the strengthening of synaptic ...

Ideally the characterization of a neuron will consider all three sets of criteria, but as neurons do not have an autonomous morphology, molecular biology, or physiology, these multidimensional ...

An increase in high-fat, high-fructose foods in people's diets has contributed to a dramatic increase in type 2 diabetes.

Studies on humans have generally been less definitive than those done on animals because it is substantially more difficult to record the activity of a single neuron in human brains. However ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

This work presents potentially important findings suggesting that a combination of transcranial stimulation approaches applied for a short period could improve memory performance after administration.

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making. The findings from Princeton neuroscientists may one day improve how ...
