In a cross-domain study directed by professor Peter Carmeliet (VIB - KU Leuven), researchers discovered unexpected cells in the protective membranes that enclose the brain, the so called meninges.

The study, published in Frontiers in Neurorobotics by researchers at Chiba Institute of Technology, arrives at a moment when ...

Nature has developed a unique structure as a scaffold for almost all nerve cells: the membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS). This specialized cytoskeletal structure is located below the cell ...

Researchers at Sinai Health and the University of Toronto have uncovered a mechanism in the nervous system of the tiny roundworm C. elegans that could have significant implications for treating human ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed an adiabatic capacitive neuron that recycles electrical charge to ...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have brought about many stunning tools in the past decade, including the Nobel-Prize-winning AlphaFold model for protein-structure prediction [1]. However, this ...

Your heart beats, your neurons fire, your muscles contract. The human body runs on electricity, but not all of it comes from the usual suspects like ion channels and sodium-potassium pumps. New ...

Newswise — A decades-long collaboration between two Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists is reshaping how we understand learning. Their findings suggest that cellular ...

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...
