Neurons, the cells in brains and spinal cords that make up the central nervous system, communicate by firing electrical pulses. But scientists have found hints that neurons may transmit light as well, ...
New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...

Types of Neurons and Their Function
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 ...
A new mouse study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) reveals that neurons establish “mini-computers” very early in life to make the brain computationally powerful. Building a ...
Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...
