These results also suggest that damaged circuits can be restored only by using neurons of the same type as the damaged area.

The ability for neurons to tune into different frequencies of gamma waves provides a way for the brain to traffic different types of information across the same neuronal circuits.

In an experimental setup that allowed the two types of cells to bathe in the same fluid without coming into physical contact, retinal neurons in a bath with hUTCs formed new connections between neurons called synapses, and they sprouted new «neurites» — tiny branches that lead to additional connections.

All formed the same types of stem cells, which give rise to «progenitor» cells that, in turn, divide into neurons and eventually organize themselves in six layers of brain tissue.

We'll assume that each model is valid for all neurons of that type in all normal brain, much as we assume that all resistors behave the same way in any electronic device.

If we uploaded multiple people, all the simulations could share the same models of neuron types.

Furthermore, we assumed above that all neurons of one type behave in the same way in all normal brains, just as all polar bears hunt seals under normal circumstances.

Likewise, neurons of the same type generally exhibit the same electrical behaviors.

By comparing hippocampal and cortical neurons in mono - culture (with other cells of the same type) and in co-culture (both cell types deposited within one device), the research showed that some features from hippocampal cells, like the percentage of action potential spikes found in bursts, were significantly higher when cultured together with cortical cells.

The same treatment killed many other types of neurons, including both the spinal motor neurons that die in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and the human dopaminergic neurons whose mysterious loss is the cause of Parkinson's disease.

«Frog neurons, like those in people and other animals, receive the same type of chemical inputs, but it's been a major challenge to understand how they work together to enable to enable the neurons to compute the length of a sound,» Rose says.

Another past study from Yoo's team showed that exposure to the same two microRNAs, miR - 9 and miR - 124, plus a different mix of transcription factors could turn skin cells into a different type of neuron.

Since all receptor neurons of the same type converge onto the same glomerulus, it was thought that spatial information linked to their location on the antenna was therefore lost.

Multiple types of neurons communicate by secreting the same major chemical messengers: serotonin (red), dopamine and norepinephrine (yellow) and acetylcholine (cyan).

Jeanne Paz, PhD, and Alexandra Clemente discovered that different types of neurons in one brain region could explain how multiple neurological disorders occur at the same time.

This feedback circuit is composed of a single class of reward - signaling dopamine neurons (PAM - α1) projecting to a restricted region of the mushroom body (MB), and a specific MB output cell type, MBON - α1, whose dendrites arborize that same MB compartment.

Mirror neurons are «a type of brain cell that respond equally when we perform an action and when we witness someone else perform the same action.»
