Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

also known as nerve impulses, which involve rapid changes in voltage across their membrane. When a neuron’s dendrite or cell body receives enough inputs from other neurons via chemical or electrical ...

How does one nerve cell transmit the nerve impulse to another cell? Electron microscopy and other methods show that it does so by means of special extensions that deliver a squirt of transmitter ...

Neurons or nerve cells are the fundamental components of ... one neuron to another requires the establishment of a neuronal synapse: either chemical (neurotransmitters) or electrical (protein ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...

At excitatory synapses in the cerebral cortex, the most numerous synapses in our brain, the presynaptic nerve ending contains ... an electrical impulse from the cell soma, within one to a few ...

They placed central and peripheral nerve cells taken from rats together in ... these neurons make a connection called a synapse that transmits cold sensory information from the peripheral to ...

In recent years, many engineers have been trying to develop hardware components that could emulate the functions of various ...

However, it was previously not understood how EPO regulates excitatory synapses involving interneurons. Interneurons are nerve cells of the central nervous system that interconnect other nerve cells.

Each nerve cell, or neuron, has three parts ... across a tiny space called a synapse, between the axons and dendrites of nearby neurons. Healing the human neurological system after injury ...

In their current study, which has been published in the journal eLife, the researchers investigated its effect on human nerve cells that they had cultivated from stem cells. The result ...
