Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Mutations that cause spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) may lead to abnormalities in the development of cells in the spinal cord, a study found.

Nothing teaches us how the brain works like neurosurgery, maintains Theodore Schwartz, MD, of Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. "We tend to think about neuroscientists, neurologists, and ...

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

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 ...
