Researchers constructed an artificial organic neuron that closely resembles the real biological nerve cells with the ability to activate normal nerves. Read the article to learn more.
Neuroscientists examined neurons in a songbird's forebrain and discovered a remarkable landscape of physiology, auditory coding, and network roles that explains how birds and mammals behave.
Treating spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and loss of limb movements are traced back to what triggers motor functions. Researchers discovered a new pathway of the brain, sending signals to the spinal cord to trigger muscle movement.
Researchers at Columbia and McGill have discovered different types of memories storied in the same neuron in snails can be selectively erased. The implications for human memory are huge.
Neurobiology can be quite a difficult to subject to wrap our minds around, especially considering that every individual’s neurochemistry is unique unto itself. But with a bit of persistance, four years to be exact, and a bit of innovative technology in the field of biophotonics researchers with NYU’s Langone Medical Center have finally revealed just how brains sort, store and process information in the process of learning new tasks.
