This is the second in a series of articles explaining - using plain English - what exactly are the electrical impulses in your brain responsible for how it learns, represents, and processes ...

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...

Summary: A new study establishes that branched O-mannose glycans synthesized by the brain-specific enzyme MGAT5B are ...

Neuronal electrical activity correlates in a systematic way with these state changes. The most conspicuous of these activity measures exist in terms of nerve impulse firing and the extracellular ionic ...

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The scientists also ...

One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...
