Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. For our high-throughput screening campaign, we utilized an NSC34 motor neuron cell line expressing an SMN2 ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

Here, we evaluate how touch information is encoded in the spatiotemporal organization of simulated Pacinian corpuscle neuron (PC) population responses when driven by a vibrometry dataset of whole-hand ...

iop.kcl.ac.uk Motor neuron disease is a clinically heterogeneous disease with significant differences in survival. The authors have characterised a subset of long term survivors seen in a tertiary ...

Summary: Researchers have, for the first time, tracked how individual neurons lose and recover energy during spreading depolarizations — waves of electrical disturbance linked to brain disorders like ...

The study, "Supramolecular copolymerization of glycopeptide amphiphiles and amyloid peptides improves neuron survival," was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. "Our study ...

The therapeutic molecules self-assemble into nanofibers, which bond to the neuron-killing proteins. Now trapped, the toxic proteins can no longer enter neurons and instead harmlessly degrade.

Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions ...

In addition to uncovering the existence of VMHdm SF1 neuron populations that are active while mice feel safe and when they feel threatened by predators, Anderson and his colleagues identified a ...

However, a heart rate over 100 beats per minute (bpm) without any physical activity might be cause for concern. “If your resting heart rate is consistently high, it can be an early indicator of a ...
