4 Action potentials Typically, neurons share information by producing electrical events called action potentials, also known as nerve impulses, which involve rapid changes in voltage across their ...

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

A neuron or nerve cell is the brain's fundamental building block for the transmission of information. The cell body (or soma) is a neuron’s center, from which different types of extensions ...

“When injured, [epithelial cells] 'scream' to their neighbors, slowly, persistently and over surprising distances. It's like a nerve's impulse, but 1,000 times slower,” said Granick in a statement.

Edaravone may exert its neuroprotective effects in ALS by also correcting the abnormal localization of TDP-43, a key ...

Researchers have used genetic tools to investigate how specific nerve cells in the brain respond after a spinal cord injury.

Scientists have developed a new method that can grow motor neurons from skin cells, which may serve as a platform for ALS ...
