They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms ...

When a neuron receives a stimulus ... to understand how they interact in real-time and to identify their distinct functions in living animals. Now, new advancements in the development of ...

A new study in Brain Medicine explores how maternal immune activation (MIA) affects hippocampal neuron function in newborn rat offspring. The research demonstrates that MIA significantly alters ...

The ultimate effect of a signal from one neuron on the next neuron depends on the function of the synapse, which is based on the type of neurotransmitter released. Excitatory synapses send signals ...

Previously, “both physicists and neuroscientists have largely dismissed the relevance of standard quantum mechanics to neuronal processes, as quantum effects are thought to disappear at the large ...

Study shows maternal immune activation alters hippocampal neuron excitability in newborn rats, with implications for autism, schizophrenia, and depression.

Accumulation of a protein called TDP-43 is a key feature of ALS and frontotemporal dementia. In a study published in Neuron, ...
