The team suspects that neurogenesis happens in other parts of the adult brain, too. In mice, new neurons are regularly made ...

New research reveals that human memory may prioritize people and places over context, offering insight into how our brains achieve flexible, enduring recall.

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the ...

The PVD neuron has male-specific structure and mating function in Caenorhabditis elegans. PNAS. 2025;122 (13):e2421376122. doi: 10.1073/pnas.2421376122 This article has been republished from the ...

Abstract Single-neuron axonal projections reveal the route map of neuron output and provide a key cue for understanding how information flows across the brain. Reconstruction of single-neuron axonal ...

Illustration of neuron transistor architecture, electrical properties, and materials characterization. a) Schematic of the single-transistor neuron. b) Typical I–V sweeping curve of the Ag/Al 2 O 3 ...

PS: It’s non-trivial to define a “typical” neuron, as evident by the amount of cell types (over 8,000) we found in the fly’s comparatively small brain.

By integrating and connecting the developed devices, the team also successfully implemented the "neuron-synapse-neuron" structure, the basic unit block of an artificial neural network, in hardware ...

In a typical neuron, the cell body comprises only about 10-20% of the cytoplasm; the rest lies in the axon and dendrites. Thus, understanding neurons requires acknowledging the axon's role.
