New research reveals that individual neurons in the hippocampus can respond to both slow and fast brain waves at the same ...

and spatial navigation -- and is involved in coordinating the electrical firing of nerve cells. Dendrites, which branch from the cell body of the neuron, play a key role in the communication ...

Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire ...

The team has found evidence that individual neurons can process multiple ... found that an individual neuron would respond to each of the two sounds with different firing rates.

When it is released by vesicles within a firing neuron into the gap between neurons ... during ischemic stroke can actually contribute to the death of neurons, a process called “excitotoxicity.” ...

leads to a pattern of neuron firing, which results in a thought process. A continuous pattern of neuronal firing reinforces the circuitry. This means that if we are put in the same situation twice ...

Emulation of these neuronal dynamics, including maintenance of the equilibrium potential, the transient dynamics and the process ... firing rate of individual neurons. Figure 1: Artificial neuron ...

A neuron has an active membrane around ... The ability to see how neurons are firing could radically speed up the testing process. You can read the full study, titled Optical recording of action ...
