Let's think for a second about thought—specifically, the physics of neurons in the brain. This topic has been the lifelong interest of Jose Rizo-Rey, professor of Biophysics at the University of Texas ...

Inside the brain is a dense network of neurons that receive, process, and relay information. The synapse, where neurons meet, ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...
