By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

The structure, made of repeating rings of proteins, was previously known for helping neurons maintain their shape. The scientists said they now understand it plays a far more active role by deciding ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Like Pokémon, it’s fun to try and snatch up every new custom like button in YouTube’s redesign. One user put together an animated list of every new icon. Part of YouTube’s broader new design on ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

The animation industry has always been labor-intensive, blending artistry, innovation, and technology to bring stories to life. Now, a new technological shift, generative AI (genAI), is sparking ...

A.I. has yet to upend Hollywood. But it is starting to make big inroads in animation. The founders of Toonstar, a small animation studio in downtown Los Angeles, have incorporated A.I. at various ...

If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...

In the late 1800s, Spanish neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal drew hundreds of images of neurons. His exquisite work influenced our understanding of what they look like: Cells with a bulbous center ...

The ultrathin tendrils that zip messages around the nervous system are often drawn as smooth lines. But a new study adds some flourishes to that classical picture. Like a garland of cranberries hung ...
