The brain learns due to neurons using multiple mechanisms to store knowledge according to a new study by researchers.

Scientists have long known those signals move from one neuron along fibres called axons and dendrites ... The researchers ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 ...

along with more than three miles of microscopic wiring — axons and smaller dendrites — and 523 million synapses connecting ...

In the Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B, researchers from the University of Minnesota deployed an array of microscopic coils—microcoils—to create a magnetic field and stimulate ...

However, definitive proof of the neuron theory was obtained only after the introduction of the electron microscope, which allowed identification of synapses between neurons 21. When the nervous ...
