Recently, researchers at UC Santa Barbara used modern laser microscopy techniques to observe how fluctuations in ovarian hormones shape both the structure and function of neurons in the mouse ...

To the extent neurons within a region display correlated resting activity, that region is considered to have regional homogeneity, whereas lack of such correlation implies regional inhomogeneity.

Cognitive function involves the interplay between the activation of neurons and the connections among the brain cells. The researchers see practical benefits from this type of research.

Do you want to improve the structure and function of your brain? New research shows that one simple lifestyle habit can optimize brain function and structure throughout a person’s lifespan.

The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer’s disease ...

The data, totaling a staggering 1.6 petabytes, encompasses the electrical activity of over 200,000 cells, 2.5 miles (four kilometers) of branching axons, and more than 500 million synaptic ...

Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues have investigated nerve cell regulation. Mounting knowledge of regulation mechanisms could enable a better understanding of how the healthy brain ...

MSU researchers discovered that microbes begin shaping the brain while still in the womb, influencing neurons in a region ...
