Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

Labeled micrographs of human neurons exposed to amyloid-beta proteins and either left untreated (left) or treated with the new nanotherapy developed at Northwestern (right). Dead neurons are stained ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.
