Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

Researchers at Brown’s Carney Institute for Brain Science identified a pair of neurons that integrate sweet and bitter ...

Scientists found that SELK are directly connected to taste receptor neurons. This connection means SELKs receive taste ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

A neuron made in the lab now works almost like one in the body. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...

How can a brain as sophisticated as ours arise from a single cell? This question, long at the heart of neuroscience research, ...

Animal bodies are crackling with electrical signals. Even before development is complete, electric fields guide the movement and arrangement of embryonic cells. 1 In adults, neurons communicate with ...
