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 ...

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, ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties with social communication, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. While previous research has shown that ...
