Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Biological fundamentals and recent progress of artificial sensory neurons are systematically reviewed. Basic device, performance metrics, and potential applications of artificial sensory neurons are ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

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

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive brain-wide presynaptic inputs that encode behavioral states, refining our ...

Motor neurons are some of the largest cells in the human body. In particular, upper neurons—extending from the cerebral cortex to the brain stem or spinal cord—average 60μm in diameter. 3,4 These ...

The ventral nerve cord is the area of the fruit fly’s nervous system that controls most of its movement, also called its motor functions. There are a variety of different broad classes of neurons that ...
