A groundbreaking study using PET scans has revealed that autistic individuals have fewer brain synapses, directly correlating ...

Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect, similar to electrical wires. Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, ...

A mysterious electromagnetic mechanism may be more important than the firing of neurons in our brains to explain our ...

synapse by synapse. However, this new fruit fly map boasts nearly 140,000 neurons connected by over 50 million synapses. This means that scientists now have a much more detailed roadmap for ...

In one set of experiments, Yaeger activated synapses on the pyramidal neurons and measured the effect on the cells' ...

Ion channels in the nervous system refers to the study of ion channels – proteins allowing charged particles to cross membranes – found in neurons ... gap junctions essential for electrical ...

Synapses—critical connections between neurons of the cerebral cortex, the brain's main hub for cognition—take years to mature in humans, compared to just months in species like macaques or mice.

Receptor cells detect a change in the environmental (a stimulus) and start electrical signals along neurons. These move towards the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is the brain and spinal cord.

This study presents valuable insights into the organization of second-order circuits for gustatory neurons, particularly how they integrate opposing taste inputs and the metabolic states that regulate ...

Basically, it controls the safe current flow between the charger and your EV. Currently, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are only available in California, but that might change.

He added that no matter the progress made with all-electric vehicles in the coming years, “hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and hydrogen combustion engine vehicles will still ...
