Neurons Are Fickle. Electric Fields Are More Reliable for Information
(Neuroscience News) A new study suggests that electric fields may represent information held in working memory, allowing the brain to overcome “representational drift,” or the inconsistent participation of individual neurons.
A Striking Difference Between Neurons of Humans and Other Mammals
(Neuroscience News) Neurons communicate with each other via electrical impulses, which are produced by ion channels that control the flow of ions such as potassium and sodium. In a surprising new finding, MIT neuroscientists have shown that human neurons have a much smaller number of these channels than expected, compared to the neurons of other mammals.
An Amazonian Tea Stimulates the Formation of New Neurons
(Neuroscience News) One of the main natural components of ayahuasca tea, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), promotes neurogenesis (the formation of new neurons) according to research led by the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).

Scientists Discover Neurons That Remain “Forever Young” Through Life
(Arsenio Toledo) Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco have discovered a mysterious group of neurons in the amygdala – the part of the brain responsible for emotional processing and for governing social behaviors and interactions. These neurons, they noted, remain in an immature state throughout a person’s childhood.
