Using the image above, let’s examine the three major components of a neuron. The soma is the cell body and contains the nucleus and other components of a typical cell. There are different types ...
Each neuron can have hundreds of branches that connect ... Researchers from the team also used AI image scanning technology ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) recognizes images and the name of President-elect Donald Trump so much that the phenomenon is referred to as a "Donald Trump neuron," expert Chris Olah says.
MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...
Exercise can have benefits at the level of neurons, through chemical and mechanical effects, MIT researchers find. The discovery could inform exercise-related therapies for repairing damaged and ...
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI): Tracks water movement to image neuron tracts connecting brain regions. Researchers also use methods like electroencephalography (EEG), positron emission tomography (PET ...
New research suggests previous assumptions about the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are inadequate.
This important paper takes a novel approach to the problem of automatically reconstructing long-range axonal projections from stacks of images. The key innovation is to separate the identification of ...
