Closely related dopamine-releasing neurons in the olfactory bulb behave in fundamentally different ways depending on their physical structure.

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

Add a description, image, and links to the myelinated-neuron topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

The ultrathin tendrils that zip messages around the nervous system are often drawn as smooth lines. But a new study adds some flourishes to that classical picture. Like a garland of cranberries hung ...

Abstract: Alteration of neuron structure can induce abnormalities in signal propagation for nervous systems, as seen in traumatic brain injuries, damage and tumours. Here, effects of geometrical ...

The valuable findings in this study show that subpopulations of peripheral sensory neurons display different capacities for regeneration after a similar injury. Nociceptor neurons have greater ...

ABSTRACT: This paper derives rigorous statements concerning the propagation velocity of action potentials in axons. The authors use the Green’s function approach to approximate the action potential ...

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “monkey see, monkey do,” and now, there’s a meme for that with the neuron activation meme. This popular meme is often deployed as a way to add a comedic twist to ...
