The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

The transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a diverse superfamily of cation channels that play pivotal roles in sensory transduction, enabling organisms to detect a wide range of ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

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 ...
