This video tutorial covers the gray matter of the spinal cord.

We just learned all about how sensory information from the surroundings makes it to the brain, but once it's there, the brain has to then tell the body what to do to respond to its surroundings. This happens thanks to the sensorimotor...

How two unlikely microbes (that don't even have brains) led to the development of one of today's most promising brain research techniques--which is being used to study many diseases including schizophrenia and Parkinson's.

With support from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Emerging Frontiers of Research and Innovation (EFRI) program, bioengineer Gert Cauwenberghs, of the Jacobs School of Engineering and the Institute for Neural Computation at the...

From the section: Artificial Neural Networks. In this section, we’ll learn about ANN.<b<br/>r/>

Artificial Neural Networks: Single Neuron Perceptron Model

Through neural connections, called synapses, the brain can process and store enormous amounts of information. Neuroscientist Gary Lynch at the University of California, Irvine explains how this incredibly complex communication process...

Neurons send signals through a mechanism called action potential. Action potentials are electrical signals that pass through the neuron’s axon. This causes the neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron. Action potentials are the...

Harvard team is advancing soft, wearable robots with embedded sensors for hand and arm rehabilitation



Tim Gatautis suffered a spinal cord injury in a swimming accident nearly a decade ago, and he's had to use a...

This video is answering the question of what is a neuron.

The Science of Opioids - How do opioids work? We look at the physiological processes that let opioids produce their effects in human bodies.

Prebycusis is the scientific name for normal loss of hearing that happens as we age. Learn how and why this happens and test out your own hearing!

In this video, I discuss the mechanism of propagation and development of Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), the human form of Mad Cow Disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) which is conferred from infected cows.<br/>

The video explains the complex process of how the nervous system works and the different types of neurons involved. It also describes the simple reflex response called a reflex arc, which is an automatic response to a stimulus that...

Ready for action? Time to get your neurons firing with some action potential. If you thought resting potential was tough to understand, it seems like action potential is that much more difficult. However, thanks to Alie Astrocyte, we...

You're as blind as a bat! Well, that's not so bad, it turns out. Why? Because bats use this amazing talent they have, called 'echolocation'. It's sort of like a natural sonar. To help us explain this strange phenomenon, we have Margot...

Do we only use 10% of our brains? That seems like a very low number. What if we could tap into that extra potential? Humans are obsessed with augmenting and improving ourselves. Just look at Iron Man, Lucy, and Limitless. In this...

In this video, we will discuss the purpose of graded potentials, EPSPs, and IPSPs; and how the summation of all graded potentials by the soma dictates whether an action potential occurs.

Ok, so we now have a pretty solid understanding of neuronal structure, as well as the action potential and synapses, so we understand how information gets from one neuron to the next. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. How are...

In this video, we look at the parts of a neuron (both artist's rendition and microscope image) and neuroglia.

Oh synapse! Time to connect the dotsÄI mean neurons. Each neuron is separated from its neighbors, so how exactly does a message get passed from one neuron to the next? Through the synapse, of course! Take a closer look at the basic...

Find out how our brains detect temperature changes and why we sometimes feel pain when we come into contact with safe levels of hot and cold.

You know about neurons. Theyêre the superstars. But have you heard about its crew? In this episode of Neuro Transmissions, weêre embarking on a mini series about the brainês entourage - glia! This episode highlights Alieês favorite cell...

Group of neurons organised and located outside the central nervous system.

How does my brain store memories again?? Great question! There are a lot of questions about how memories are stored and where they go. But when we have a test coming up, it might be useful to learn how to remember what you studied! So...
