DAI is a “stretching” injury to the neurons (the cell bodies of the brain) and axons (fibers that allow for communication from one neuron to another neuron). When we couldn't see far enough, we invented the telescope. During brain development, neurons have to connect to each other, which they do by extending their long axons to touch one another. Important new research from UMass Medical School demonstrates how exosomes shuttle proteins from neurons to muscle cells where they take part in critical signaling mechanisms, an exciting discovery that means these tiny vehicles could one day be loaded with therapeutic agents, such as RNA interference (RNAi), and directly target disease-carrying cells. Everything our brains do for us depends on neurons communicating. Visual Art A daylong symposium on November 5, 2005 entitled Visual Art and the Brain sought to explore different facets of the relationship between art and neuroscience.

When we needed to speak with people who weren't within shouting distance, we developed the telephone. Is Alzheimer's the result of a widespread, gradually mounting defect in brain biochemistry to which neurons for memory and cognition are particularly vulnerable, like canaries in a coal mine? From Mirror Neurons to the Mona Lisa. Daily rhythms of sleep and metabolism are driven by a biological clock in a structure in the brain made up of 20,000 neurons, all of which can keep daily (circadian) time individually. Brainwaves are produced as the billions of neurons in our brains transmit action potentials down their axons to the synapses where they trigger the release of neurotransmitters. I have just posted a discussion paper: From the Neuron to Human Intelligence: Part 1:The “Ideal Brain” Model which will shortly be followed by Part 2: Evolution and Learning. We're constantly striving to push ourselves further. The details of the wiring of the brain – which neurons connect to which other neurons, in what pattern, and with what strength of connection – are what largely determine brain function.
