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

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.

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

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

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 ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. 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 ...

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