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 ...

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.

However, questions remain about the rules and parameters that help set up that type of shifting system. One possibility comes ...

A landmark study examining over 3.4 million brain cells has revealed that Alzheimer’s disease progresses through two distinct ...

MIT engineers find that exercise-induced myokines significantly boost neuron growth, offering insights for nerve injury ...

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 ...

Researchers found that exercise promotes neuron growth through both biochemical signals (myokines) and physical stretching.

It's often difficult to do this kind of analysis in living people – so a lot of the existing data we have is based on older post-mortem subjects – but the new image capturing and processing technology ...

New research suggests previous assumptions about the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are inadequate.

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 ...
