Our research suggests that the pre-Boetzinger complex contains a fixed number of neurons that we lose as we age.
The fact that three-fifths of an octopus' neurons are not in their brain, but in their arms, suggests that each arm has a mind of its own.
Human embryonic stem cells give researchers reliable access to these neurons for the first time, and it will now be possible to perform experiments to unravel why these neurons die in Parkinson's.
Love is indeed, at root, the product of the firings of neurons and release of hormones.
The identification of a population of olfactory sensory neurons innervating a single glomerulus that mediates robust avoidance to a naturally occurring odorant provides insight in the neural circuitry that underlies this innate behavior.
We have found that fusions of GFP with the RING finger domains of certain E3 ubiquitin ligases creates an unstable GFP. We have used unstable GFP to learn how disruption of microtubules in the touch receptor neurons causes a generalized reduction in protein levels in the cells.
You probably think Stephen Hawking is in that wheelchair because of a motor neuron disease. But if you got as much barely-legal student poontang as The Hawkster, you'd be in a wheelchair too.
The number of neurons in the brain is very much larger than the number of components in a computer...
In the human mind, the number of possible connections that can be made between neurons greatly exceeds the number of atoms in the universe.
Such a bandwidth! God, who may not have a brain made of neurons, or a CPU made of silicon, but if he has the powers attributed to him he must have something far more elaborately and non-randomly constructed than the largest brain or the largest computer we know.
