Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...
Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, allowing researchers to map the ...
New research explains how the shapes of neurons can be classified using mathematical methods from the field of algebraic topology. Neuroscientists can now start building a formal catalogue for all the ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, leading to inflammation and damage. This ...
A decay of brain function is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, or DLB. Specifically, cognitive dysfunction defines DLB, and nearly eight of every 10 Parkinson's patients ...
Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the School of Advanced Computing have built artificial neurons that ...
A technical paper titled “3D Neuromorphic Hardware with Single Thin-Film Transistor Synapses Over Single Thin-Body Transistor Neurons by Monolithic Vertical Integration” was published by researchers ...
A neuron model of Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementias shows defects that could suggest treatments to halt or reverse cognitive impairments before the neurons die BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A decay of ...
