These neurons connect and communicate with each other through a dizzying network of something like 100 trillion synapses. Those changes occur in both the appearance and the connections of brain neurons. By Stephanie PappasLiveScience Aboveground nuclear bomb testing in the 1950s and 1960s inadvertently gave modern scientists a way to prove the adult brain regularly creates new neurons, research reveals. From Neuron to Brain: A Cellular and Molecular Approach to the Function of the Nervous System book download. Anesthesiologists aren't totally lying when they say they're going to put you to sleep. Some anesthetics directly tap into sleep-promoting neurons in the brain, a study in mice reveals. The entire study can be read at Nature. Take one step out the front door, and an individual brain cell fires. Pass by your rose bush on the way to the car, another specific neuron fires. There are now volumes of studies on humans as well as lab animals showing that regular physical exercise helps your neurons stay in shape particularly in the memory areas of your brain. This post describes the physical changes in the brain that underlie and contribute to the dementia of AD. Sunday, 14 April 2013 at 02:36. This breakthrough could allow for improved drug testing — and even a "periodic table" of neurons in the brain to explain what each of them does and how they interact.
