Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers develop a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. Pradeep Sharma ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ...

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 ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute for Physiology, working in collaboration with Johns Hopkins ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

Synaptic vesicles act as the brain’s chemical couriers, transporting neurotransmitters between cells. When a nerve impulse arrives, these vesicles fuse with the neuron’s membrane and release their ...

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 ...
