Neurons talk to each other using chemical signals called neurotransmitters. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology expertise to determine structures of ...

Biophysically detailed neuronal models provide a unique window into the workings of individual neurons. They enable researchers to manipulate neuronal properties systematically and reversibly, ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

For most people, major neurological pathways develop, connect up, and function, similarly. Between all of us, there is a consistency in neurological anatomy and physiology. From this, there result ...

The beta cells of the pancreas are responsible for releasing the hormone insulin, which is vital for the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream. Various factors can impair the ability of these ...

Scientists introduce an open-source workflow that simplifies the creation, validation and generalization of detailed neuronal models. Using this solution, researchers could build cell models for a ...
