A new study published in eLife has found that a remarkably rare type of neuron acts as a master conductor for the brain’s ...
All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in ...
Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...
A team of scientists has made a game-changing breakthrough that could have life-changing implications for those suffering ...
Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) and their colleagues have made a ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...
The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are now calling an “all-body brain,” with neurons that function as a ...
A study from UCLA neurologists challenges the idea that the brain recruits existing neurons to take over for those that are lost from stroke. It shows that in mice, undamaged neurons do not change ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about digital healthcare, biotech & innovation in medicine. Restoring function to a specific type of nerve cell in the ...
Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...
