By examining genetic clues that linger in adult cells, scientists have now gained surprising insights into the developmental ...

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...

How well our brain functions depends heavily on the performance of our nerve cells. That is why they are regularly checked for their proper function -- defective cell components are marked, disposed ...

Researches at Linköping University have created an artificial nerve cell from a single organic electrochemical transistor, while still reproducing as many as 17 neural properties. An artificial neuron ...

The findings indicate that it may be possible to improve nerve cell health in ALS by modulating the activity of certain ...

Does Alzheimer’s start in the muscles? Research reveals that motor neuron mutations disrupt the neuromuscular junction ...

The retina is often referred to as an “outpost of the brain” – after all, important steps in visual signal processing do not take place in the cerebrum, but in the nerve cells in the eye. When light ...
