The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and ...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a crucial part of the mammalian brain, known to be involved in decision-making, planning, complex social behavior and integrating the activity of other brain regions.

In materials science and electrochemistry, dendrites are branching, tree-like crystal structures that form when atoms or ions deposit on a surface under non-equilibrium conditions. The term derives ...

Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain. Within ...

Dendritic cells are divided into Type 1 (DC1) and Type 2 (DC2) dendritic cells. Each type fulfills different functions: DC1 provide an immune response to bacteria and viruses, DC2 protect against ...

Creatine, the supplement well known among athletes, may have an effect on cancer. Indeed, researchers at UCLA have discovered ...
