Neurons communicate by passing electrical messages, known as action potentials, between each other. Each neuron has a highly specialized structural region, the axon initial segment (AIS), whose ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
