Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely ...

What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signalling that causes the trap to snap shut.

Scientists at the Carney Institute for Brain Science have discovered specific patterns of electrical signals in the brain that may help forecast whether a person will go on to develop Alzheimer’s ...

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Researchers have created an improved method for turning genes on and off using electrical signals. Researchers, led by experts at Imperial College London, have developed a new method that allows gene ...
