Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

Researchers from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) have discovered that when cancer spreads in the brain, it changes the brain’s ...

Researchers have developed a system that connects two neurons by using light-emitting enzymes and light-sensitive ion channels. Our brains are made of billions of neurons, which are connected forming ...

A new study suggests that cognitive loss in patients with brain metastases may be due to the interference that cancer produces in neuronal circuits. When cancer spreads in the brain, it changes the ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

The idea of mapping the brain is not new. Researchers have known for years that the key to treating, curing, and even preventing brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and traumatic ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...
