Anticonvulsants used to treat epilepsy work on GABA. And drugs used to treat Parkinson’s disease, such as L-DOPA, promote dopamine function. Other Brain Cells (Glia) Although neurons are ...

Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

Neurons continuously adjust their coordination ... crafted over aeons of natural selection. Future work will be needed to see how these principles might play out in the human brain.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified neurons that are essential for mice to engage in social interactions ...

BENGALURU: Chronic physical pain can be debilitating, but feelings of stress, fear and hunger can sometimes suppress painful ...

Eight years of work. A collaboration between the Laboratory of Neuroethology of Non-Human Primates of the Department of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Parma, led by Luca Bonini, and a team ...

who didn’t work on the study, tells The Scientist over email. According to Cortical Labs Chief Scientific Officer Brett Kagan, this is ample evidence that cultured networks of neurons provided with ...

This chip-based laser neuron mimics how human neurons work, but it's incredibly fast. Scientists at the Chinese University of Hong Kong state that this laser neuron operates at an astonishing ...

Eventually, the Sandia researchers hope to build computer chips that can mimic the way individual neurons work together to produce activity patterns in the biological brain.

A computational model explains how place cells in the hippocampus can be recruited to form any kind of episodic memory, even when there's no spatial component.
