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 ...
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 ...
Another piece of the dementia puzzle may finally have been found. In A Nutshell Scientists discovered ultrathin tubes (hundreds of nanometers wide) connecting brain cells that transport proteins and ...
For more than eighty years, deep learning has relied on a simplified model of brain function. The 1943 McCulloch-Pitts model of the neuron fueled breakthroughs in image recognition, speech synthesis ...
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 ...
