A17 amacrine cells are an important part of the scotopic pathway. Their synaptic varicosities receive glutamatergic inputs from rod bipolar cells (RBC) and release GABA onto the same RBC terminal, ...

New research could help explain one of the “miracles” of childbirth – how the uterus contracts to push babies into the world. Computer models, developed by researchers in India and France, reveal that ...

Bio-pacemakers offer a potential alternative to electronic devices, yet their stable implementation at cellular and tissue levels remains unresolved. In this computational study, we aimed to ...

Scientists have known for decades that electrical signals send messages to cells to tell our bodies what to do. New research published by teams in a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative ...

Highly flexible and conductive wires play a crucial role in integration and application of wearable devices. However, the frequent stress and deformation in practical use are prone to cause structural ...

To produce its many functions, including thought, the brain works at many scales. Information such as goals or images is represented by coordinated electrical activity among networks of neurons, while ...
