In a cross-domain study directed by professor Peter Carmeliet (VIB - KU Leuven), researchers discovered unexpected cells in the protective membranes that enclose the brain, the so called meninges.

Mean-field models are a powerful tool for understanding collective brain activity. A new model extends this approach by incorporating the exchange of ...

Nature has developed a unique structure as a scaffold for almost all nerve cells: the membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS). This specialized cytoskeletal structure is located below the cell ...

Researchers at Sinai Health and the University of Toronto have uncovered a mechanism in the nervous system of the tiny roundworm C. elegans that could have significant implications for treating human ...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have brought about many stunning tools in the past decade, including the Nobel-Prize-winning AlphaFold model for protein-structure prediction [1]. However, this ...

A new review argues that designing polymeric membranes for medical devices requires matching anisotropy, fatigue, ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed an adiabatic capacitive neuron that recycles electrical charge to ...

Your heart beats, your neurons fire, your muscles contract. The human body runs on electricity, but not all of it comes from the usual suspects like ion channels and sodium-potassium pumps. New ...
