Scientists have identified neurons in an evolutionarily ancient part of the brain that control when you stop eating a meal — at least in rodents. The researchers discovered that cholecystokinin ...
With age, many of a brain’s original neurons (possibly more than half) are themselves programmed to die as a normal part of development. Another key process in neuronal development that begins ...
"There are 16 billion neurons in the cortex—double the number ... epilepsy who were already undergoing EEG monitoring as part ...
Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron—can be done through a process that requires the ...
As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...
In experiments, researchers at University College London (UCL) were able to control the three behaviours by switching the neurons on and off in a part of the animals’ brainstem called the median ...
