That includes a form of dementia and the most prevalent type of motor neuron disease. The study identified a previously ...

Researchers have developed printable artificial neurons that can communicate with living mouse brain cells, a breakthrough ...

Knowing that women are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at three times the rate of men, particularly during their 30s ...

Recent studies suggest that animals and people alike have close and complex relationships with the bacteria around and within ...

Brain function has traditionally been interpreted within a neuron-centric framework; however, this view has shifted toward a model of neuron-glia ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

The Australian biotech company Cortical Labs recently posted a video in which 200,000 living human neurons grown on a silicon chip played the 1993 first-person shooter Doom. The neuron-controlled main ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

Abstract: Effective representation of neuronal morphology is essential for cell typing and understanding brain function. However, the complexity of neuronal morphology manifests not only in ...

ABSTRACT: Neurodegenerative disorders, most notably Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are marked by progressive cognitive decline and widespread neuronal loss. A growing body of evidence indicates that ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

Jennifer Crodelle, assistant professor of mathematics and statistics, works with students in her lab in Warner Hall. Crodelle recently received two major research grants from the National Science ...
