Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...
Our first neurons form during the earliest weeks of development in the womb. As the brain takes shape, those neurons move about and cluster with others to create brain regions. Then they begin the ...
Super-resolution microscopes have revealed a whole new type of connection between neurons in mouse and human brains. In the lab, Johns Hopkins University neuroscientist Minhyeok Chang and colleagues ...

Harvard team built a CMOS chip to map 70,000 synaptic connections between 2,000 rat neurons
Harvard researchers built a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip packed with 4,096 microhole electrode arrays, allowing them to record electrical activity across several neural cells.
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
Whenever something bad happens to us, brain systems responsible for mediating emotions kick in to prevent it from happening again. When we get stung by a wasp, the association between pain and wasps ...
For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...
