Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between "test tube" data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study, ...
Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the School of Advanced Computing have built artificial neurons that ...
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 ...
Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, allowing researchers to map the brain's structure and synaptic connectivity (i.e., the junctions via which ...
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 ...
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 ...
