It is assumed that the brain has homeostatic mechanisms to prevent the depletion of cellular energy, required for all cellular activities. For example, the blood flow increases, and oxygen and glucose ...

Animal cells are bound by a structure called a cell cortex—and this structure, researchers say, is a bit like a tent. A tent is constructed of a shell with a zippered opening that controls what can go ...

Biophysically detailed simulation of the whole mouse cortex neuron by neuron, with sub-cellular resolution—that is, capturing ion flows and fluctuations of membrane voltage within many compartments ...

It is assumed that the brain has homeostatic mechanisms to prevent the depletion of cellular energy, required for all cellular activities. For example, the blood flow increases, and oxygen and glucose ...

A team of nearly 100 scientists recently mapped the cell-type taxonomy in the macaque cortex and revealed the relationship between cell-type composition and various primate brain regions by using the ...

Children who endured abuse or violence in early childhood are more likely to show early signs of biological aging than kids who did not experience such trauma, a new study finds. Early-childhood abuse ...

A new study provides a detailed look at how the psychedelic compound psilocin acts on specific neurons within the brain. The research suggests that psilocin directly excites a particular population of ...

The brain is assumed to exert homeostatic functions to always keep the cellular energy status constant, this has not been proven. Researchers discovered that cortical neuronal intracellular ...
