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

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.

Electrical signalling plays a pivotal role in how plants perceive and respond to their environment. Rapid electrical impulses, including action potentials (APs) and slower variation potentials (VPs), ...

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 ...

Research at the University of Edinburgh tracked electrical signals in the part of the brain linked to spatial awareness. The study could help us understand how, if we know a room, we can go into it ...
