International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.
Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...
Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.
There are many kinds of dopamine neurons located in the uppermost region of the brainstem that manufacture and release dopamine throughout the brain. Recently published research reports a relationship ...
A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...
Nerve cells that sense touch grow the appropriate endings for hairy or hairless skin based on cues from the skin itself, rather than through predetermined programming, according to research led by ...
From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps pain sensing nerve cells stay ...
