A new study published in eLife has found that a remarkably rare type of neuron acts as a master conductor for the brain’s ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report that extracellular vesicles released into the bloodstream ...

Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between "test tube" data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study, ...

The neurons in our brains and bodies do amazing things: sense the outside world, transmit information, guide our behavior. But they don’t do it alone. Using tiny worms with well-mapped nervous systems ...

A drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to people living ...

Robots that can sense and respond to the world like humans may soon be a reality as scientists have created an artificial ...

Researchers have made a surprising discovery linking Delta/Notch signaling in subperineurial glia (SPG) to the regulation of nerve ensheathment and neurotransmitter release at the Drosophila ...
