Olfactory sensory neurons are nasal neurons that make use of hundreds of different types of odorant receptors to analyze odorous chemicals in our external world and send that information to our brain.

Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the EPFL Blue Brain Project have developed Neuron_Reduce, a new computational tool that provides the scientific community with a straightforward ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

A recent study highlights the role of ferroptosis, a type of cell death linked to iron and oxidative stress, in regulating neuron numbers in the hippocampus, crucial for memory and learning, ...

Results show that diminished odor stimulation reduces the number of newly-generated neurons that express particular odorant receptors, indicating a selective alteration in the neurogenesis of these ...
