New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Neurons are similar to ...

A thin strip of flexible film, printed with layers of graphene and molybdenum disulfide ink, fired electrical spikes into a ...

Scientists have created artificial neurons that can communicate directly with real brain cells, opening the door to new medical devices and more efficient computing. In a new study from Northwestern ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...

Northwestern University researchers have demonstrated that fully printed artificial neurons can send electrical signals to living mouse brain tissue and receive responses. Using aerosol-jet printing ...

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 6, 2025 – A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain - they talk to it. In a new study, the Northwestern team developed flexible, low-cost devices that ...
