Our bodies are made up of around 75 billion cells. But what function does each individual cell perform and how greatly do a healthy person's cells differ from those of someone with a disease? To draw ...

Up until recently, habituation -- a simple form of learning -- was deemed the exclusive domain of complex organisms with brains and nervous systems, such as worms, insects, birds, and mammals. But a ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...

Individual cells appear capable of learning, a behaviour once deemed exclusive to animals with brains and complex nervous systems, according to the findings of a new study led by researchers at the ...

A growing body of peer-reviewed research is building the case that single-celled organisms, creatures with no brain, no neurons, and no nervous system at all, can exhibit habituation, one of the ...

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health researchers. The entorhinal/hippocampal circuit is known from past studies to ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Barbie Wang, Maria Giebler, Adrian Freeman, Karen Hogg, Adam Corrigan and Hitesh Sanganee. This poster is being hosted on this website in its ...

They're more than a simple clock, and understanding these cells' activity could ultimately aid in early detection of neurodegenerative diseases. A sense of time is fundamental to how we understand, ...
