A little neuroscience 101 here: neurons are the basic cellular building blocks of the brain. Some anesthetics directly tap into sleep-promoting neurons in the brain, a study in mice reveals. Neuroscientists plan to use a virus that carries DNA from neuron to neuron, combined with DNA sequencing technology, to understand how the brain of the mouse is wired, cell by cell.

Aspartic acid, also known as aspartate, acts as a neurotransmitter in your brain by facilitating the transmission of information from neuron to neuron. Neuroscientists of University College London (UCL) have found that there is a simple pattern modeling the tree-like shape of brain's neurons. Pass by your rose bush on the way to the car, another specific neuron fires. Neurobiologists has converted a brain neuron from one type to another through direct lineage reprogramming.This can open up developments for neurological diseases such as ALS. Research published in the journal Neuron shows that NMDA receptors on dopamine neurons in the brain's basal ganglia are essential to habit formation. What is the architecture of the baby's brain like? Sanford-Burnham researchers convince transplanted stem cell-derived neurons to direct cognitive function—getting us a step closer to using these cells to treat Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. The recent literature on whether patterns of activity in the hippocampus are predetermined and hard-wired. Each neuron receives impulses, through tiny hair-like structures called dendrites. Anesthesiologists aren't totally lying when they say they're going to put you to sleep. The goal of this project as outlined in this Neuron paper is to develop the technological capability to measure the spiking activity of every single neuron in the brain simultaneously. Take one step out the front door, and an individual brain cell fires. The brain is full of special cells, called neurons.
