An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

A new study finds that retaining memories is maintained by the quality — not quantity — of dendritic spines, which are part of brain neurons. Experts used to think that memory loss was due to loss in ...

If you've ever noticed how memories from the same day seem connected while events from weeks apart feel separate, a new study reveals the reason: Our brains physically link memories that occur close ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Neurobiologists have gained new insights into how neurons control growth of the intricate tracery of branches called dendrites that enable them to connect with their neighbors. Dendritic connections ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Closely related dopamine-releasing neurons in the olfactory bulb behave in fundamentally different ways depending on their physical structure.

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous system. Multiple interconnected neurons form a neural circuit and ...

Kanazawa, Japan - Artificial neural networks are machine learning systems that are composed of a large number of connected nodes called artificial neurons. Similar to the neurons in a biological brain ...
