Your body is an amazing biological machine and it s electric. Every heartbeat, thought, and movement depends on tiny electrical impulses running through your body. You might not feel them, but these ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

This is the second in a series of articles explaining - using plain English - what exactly are the electrical impulses in your brain responsible for how it learns, represents, and processes ...

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

Brains have conspicuous functional states, ranging from intense conscious concentration to drowsiness, to sleep, to coma, to death. Neuronal electrical activity correlates in a systematic way with ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

The vagus nerve plays an important role in our body. It consists of various fibres, some of which connect to the internal organs, but the vagus nerve can also be found in the ear. It is of great ...

A new study published in PNAS Nexus explores the role of the dynamin protein DYN-1 in axonal fusion. The axon is a long, thin protrusion of nerve cells that carries electrical impulses. Severed axons ...

Electrical impulses applied to a particular branch of the vagus nerve could be used in the future to reduce complications of arterial hypertension. These are the results of a research conducted, on ...

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...

One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...
