Electrical signals travel much more rapidly than chemical signals, which depend on the process of molecular diffusion. As a consequence, excitable cells respond to signals much more rapidly than ...

Previously, “both physicists and neuroscientists have largely dismissed the relevance of standard quantum mechanics to neuronal processes, as quantum effects are thought to disappear at the large ...

Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

Engineers from United States have discovered that just single atom thick quantum materials can track the electrical activity of living cells using just light. The ultra-thin semiconductors trap ...

The innovative approach amplifies electrical signals by three orders of magnitude ... corresponding author Rafael Verduzco, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and materials science ...

By David Stephen March 10-16 is Brain Awareness Week for 2025. Seeking to solve consciousness is to seek the components [closest to] responsible and how they [might] mechanize consciousness. This […] ...

The conditions are controlled in two ways with chemical and nervous responses. Sensory neurones carry electrical signals - nerve impulses - towards the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain).

The researchers found that the conversion from excitons to trions in atom-thick semiconductors can be harnessed to detect the electrical signals of heart muscle ... the Aiiso Yufeng Li Family ...

The electrical signals inside heart muscle cells provide ... a professor in the Aiiso Yufeng Li Family Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering at UC San Diego, who is one of the study's ...
