Unlike conventional computing hardware, biological computation occurs in wet, salty environments through carefully-controlled chemical and ionic transport between neurons. Their thin cellular ...
Researchers have identified two ion channel switches that regulate the release of dopamine in the brain, a first step that might one day lead to therapeutics for a wide range of diseases and disorders ...
Researchers develop TRFS, a non-invasive radio frequency technique that can suppress or excite deep-brain activity to treat depression, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s.
By introducing specific mutations to the TRPM8 ion channel, they created a system that responds with exceptional sensitivity and specificity to CHXOL. This innovation allows for precise neuronal ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Biological brains compute using ions, not electrons. Every signal between neurons depends on charged atoms passing through protein channels embedded in cell membranes, a system ...
Theoretical physicists at Utrecht University, together with experimental physicists at Sogang University in South Korea, have succeeded in building an artificial synapse. This synapse works with water ...
The dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is part of the brain that helps form memories. It is also one of just two areas in the adult brain where new neurons are continuously formed. The dentate gyrus is ...
STEVENAGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Autifony Therapeutics Limited (“Autifony”), which is pioneering the development of novel pharmaceutical treatments for rare CNS disorders and other serious brain ...
Researchers find blocking the KCNB2 gene can slow tumor growth, paving the way for next-gen treatments for childhood brain cancer. Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have ...
During sleep, the brain cleans itself, turning up the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the gray matter parenchyma to wash away waste. What powers this flow? In the February 28 Nature online, ...
A new study has unveiled a precise picture of how an ion channel found in most mammalian cells regulates its own function with a 'ball-and-chain' channel-plugging mechanism. The findings boost the ...
