Ionic currents are the flow of ions across cell membranes, which are essential for generating electrical signals in neurons and other excitable cells. Recent research has focused on how these ...

With their special ability to produce and share electrical signals and a capacity to link up in complex webs, neurons are a basic component of the nervous system. The brain contains more than 100 ...

Certain cells, commonly called excitable cells, are unique because of their ability to generate electrical signals. Although several types of excitable cells exist — including neurons ...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive method to monitor the electrical activity inside heart muscle cells.

Researchers discovered that electrical synapses filter sensory signals in animals, enabling context-specific ...

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego and Stanford University has developed a noninvasive ...

Neurons are cells that act as the brain's fundamental building blocks, transmitting information through electrical signals. When a neuron receives a stimulus, changes in membrane voltage (the ...

In worms with normal INX-1 function, the electrical connection effectively dampens signals from the thermosensory neurons, allowing the worm to ignore weak temperature variations and focus on the ...

The team that first recorded vagus nerve signals in humans has now isolated the electrical activity of individual neurons ...

The method is based on capturing electrical signals from outside the cells and using AI to reconstruct the signals within the ...

Receptor cells detect a change in the environment (a stimulus) and start electrical signals along neurons. These move towards the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is the brain and spinal cord.
