A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Steven Weisberg, a researcher at The University of Texas at Arlington, put some of the most advanced artificial intelligence tools available to work on structural brain scans and found they could not ...

Concerned about the effects of these changes, biophysicist Elena Molokanova and her team sought a more natural way to stimulate neurons in cell culture. In a recent study, the researchers grew neurons ...

Neurons in the bird eye’s inner retina lack a blood supply. Finding how these neurons function without oxygen reveals a role for an enigmatic eye structure. Read the paper: Oxygen-free metabolism in ...
