Three types of neurons in the median raphe could between them drive decisions on whether to stick to what you are doing, try something else, or give up altogether”, explains Professor Sonja ...

Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. A team of researchers discovered which chemicals influence the signals ...

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial ...

Whether mice persist with a task, explore new options or give up comes down to the activity of three types of neuron in the brain. In experiments, researchers at University College London (UCL ...

A new process for converting skin cells to neurons directly could make it easier to develop therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.
