One of the most intelligent non-primate animals the research team has studied are elephants, which have 5.6 billion neurons. Though Herculano-Houzel notes they also have higher-than-typical neuron ...

Spiking neurons are the core building blocks of Spiking Neural Networks. This work presents a methodology for designing minimal neuron circuits using various types of devices. We postulate that Sodium ...

Artificial neural networks are commonly employed to mimic biological activities in the brain. Synapse as the neuron connecter plays an important role in information transmission, which revises the ...

To better understand any pathological processes related to Alzheimer's disease that might affect the myelin sheath, Yale researchers analyzed proteins in human brain tissue, focusing on the sub ...

In mammals, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are born throughout life, ostensibly solely to replace neurons lost via turnover or injury. This assumption follows from the hypothesis that olfactory ...

This review summarises recent evidence supporting the involvement of the specialised nodal and perinodal domains (the paranode and juxtaparanode) of myelinated axons in the pathology of acquired, ...

Nav1.8 voltage-gated sodium channels are strongly expressed in human primary pain-sensing neurons (nociceptors) and a selective Nav1.8 inhibitor VX-548 (suzetrigine) has shown efficacy for treating ...

Motor neuron disease usually refers to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but it can also refer to other kind of neurodegenerative disease that affect the motor neurons, such as progressive primary ...
