Neurons exhibit a remarkable level of cellular compartmentalisation that underpins their complex signalling capabilities and functional adaptability. A key component of this spatial organisation is ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

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 ...

Chronic stress can differentially change the neuronal structure and function in the brain, leading to anxiety disorders and other neuropsychiatric illness. Now, researchers may understand how the ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

A new study uncovers a precise brain pathway that rapidly converts emotional stress into sudden wakefulness during NREM sleep.
