“Red is such an extraordinarily important color for the human species, and it does get associated with passion and fire,” says Jacky Colliss Harvey, author of Red: A History of the Redhea ...

Many scientists believe the red-eyed tree frog developed its vivid scarlet peepers to shock predators into at least briefly questioning their meal choice. These iconic rain-forest amphibians sleep ...

Neuronal development is the biological process by which neurons are produced during development. The processes that contribute to neuronal development include proliferation, differentiation ...

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick captured a form of lightning known as "red sprites" in the upper atmosphere on June 3. These branching red flashes are a form of strange weather event known as ...

Studies on humans have generally been less definitive than those done on animals because it is substantially more difficult to record the activity of a single neuron in human brains. However ...

Neural antibodies can specifically recognize and label molecules on nerve cells, assisting in setting apart and identifying various nerve cells and finding their roles. These antibodies have huge ...

Neural engineering extends and applies basic knowledge of the nervous system, from the molecular to the systems level, to develop useful technology for medical and other applications. Our research ...

WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is ...

The elective core modules cover basics of neuroscience. These are divided into three categories: systems neuroscience, neural computation and theoretical neurosciences, and neurotechnologies and ...

Artist's impression of the abnormal protein clumps that build around a neuron in Alzheimer's disease. Artist's impression of the abnormal protein clumps that build around a neuron in Alzheimer's ...

The ability of the brain to elaborate new connections and neuronal circuits—neuroplasticity—underlies all learning. Biology and psychology unite in the field of neuroscience, to tackle questio ...

Neuronal physiology refers to the biology of neuronal function, including an understanding of the molecular and cellular processes that underlie neuronal activity. Chopra and colleagues show that ...
