Sensory overload is often about uncertainty and how long the brain has to stay engaged—especially in autism and ADHD.

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Yu Shin Kim, M.S., Ph.D., has been appointed professor in the Department of Endodontics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry. Kim is internationally recognized for ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

It has long been assumed that glycogen in the brain is primarily a glial energy reserve, with limited direct relevance to neurons. Yet, recent studies have demonstrated a role for glycogen in neuronal ...

The peripheral sensory nervous system (PNS) has been widely recognized for its role in the collection, processing, and transmission of sensory information, including thermal, mechanical, chemical, and ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Most adolescents and adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have normal sensory nerve function, even those with long-lasting disease, regardless of SMA type, a study in the Netherlands shows. Nerve ...

Sensitivity to sound, light and touch affect neurodivergent people differently. Here are the strategies and tech products I use to help me function. John Carlsen has more than a decade of experience ...
