New research links the disorder to abnormal brain development. Nov. 8, 2011— -- A new, small study provides a tantalizing clue to the causes of autism, suggesting that children with the disorder ...

SMA pathology affects a wider range of cells, including astrocytes and microglia, beyond alpha motor neurons. Advanced techniques revealed significant ventral horn neuron loss and abnormal morphology ...

Researchers found that neurons can use fat, not just sugar, to power the brain. When a protein called DDHD2 fails, this process breaks down and leads to serious brain problems. Scientists were able to ...

A study published in Nature reveals the functional relevance of tumor-neuron interactions that regulate the growth of ependymoma brain tumors. The study, conducted by researchers at Baylor College of ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...
