Researchers identified two major intrinsic cardiac neuron populations in mice: Npy-positive neurons regulate parasympathetic ...

A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways, but ...

The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in ...

Why can zebrafish regenerate damaged gut nerves while humans largely cannot? Michigan State University researchers have developed a new research tool that allows them to remove gut neurons in ...

Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system. Motor neurons control muscle activity and ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in real time could reveal how the brain processes sensation and guides behavior ...

Every heartbeat is choreographed not just by the brain but also by a mysterious nervous system embedded in the heart itself.
