Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as indispensable interfaces that enable the communication between biological ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications in living brain tissue from mice and humans. Findings from the new ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report the successful creation of artificial synaptic vesicles that can be remotely controlled by near-infrared (NIR) ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly.
