Researchers have solved the structure of a protein that is integral to processes responsible for maintaining a healthy heart and nervous system. The protein -- cystathionine beta-synthase, known ...

Technical structures will soon have their own nervous system. Developers and users expect this to bring greater safety, maintenance activities only when required, and a more efficient use of ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

ORIENTATION of cells and fibres in the cerebral cortex is a well-known phenomenon. It is not generally appreciated, however, that a similar organization is present throughout the nervous system of ...

There are a number of key hormones which modulate the nervous system. ... Each hormone has a unique 3D structure with a complementarily-shaped receptor.

Previously, scientists were unsure exactly how the ventral nerve cord (a vital component of invertebrates’ central nervous system) developed in ecdysozoans. However, a close look at Cambrian-age (541 ...

Noise contributes significantly to neuronal and behavioural trial-to-trial variability. Faisal and colleagues discuss the sources and effects of noise in the nervous system as well as the ...
