A drug made up of a cage of nanoparticles and antibodies created neurons from another type of brain cell, which relieved ...

Scientists found a way to convert brain cells called astrocytes into neurons. In theory, this could replenish neurons lost in ...

In the complex circuitry of the brain, a fatty substance known as myelin plays a vital role in insulating neural wiring. It ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

"This is because different cell types repair DNA damage, such as the cuts made by Cas9, in completely distinct ways." The authors reasoned that the unique DNA repair toolkit of neurons might change ...

“Historically, depression was thought to be a disease of neurotransmitter deficiency, especially serotonin, but we now think ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

What is the neural basis of our perceptual experience? Simultaneous recordings from many individual neurons in humans provide surprising insights into how odours are processed in different regions of ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Our brains constantly integrate information about both our internal state and our surroundings to determine how we behave.

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University. Knowledge of how the ...

A region of the brain called the striatum is critical for many cognitive and motor functions, including decision-making, ...
