Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases pose significant health challenges due to neuron ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a mechanism that controls the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are crucial for repairing and regenerating brain cells. The research offers exciting potential for ...

A glioma is a type of tumor that originates in the central nervous system, specifically in the brain or spinal cord. These tumors originate in glial cells, supportive cells in the brain which serve to ...

It's never too early—or too late—to safeguard your mind against age-related decline. Here's what you can start doing today.

Acute manipulations of neuronal activity of cortical projection neurons using DREADDs affects synaptic connectivity and leads to rapid response and changes in glial cell dynamics in cortical and ...

Researchers investigate chromatin conformational and epigenomic reorganization during the development of the prefrontal ...

Microglia, the primary immune cells in the central nervous system, play a critical role in regulating neuronal function and fate through their interaction with neurons. Despite extensive research, the ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience has uncovered an important role for a specific type of brain cell, called ...

Martins and the research team have a vision of embedding a nanobot inside each brain cell. The average human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons. There may be three times as many glial cells ...

Researchers suggest findings could help to pinpoint cell types most vulnerable to conditions such as schizophrenia, and ...

The microglia change the very architecture of the brain's neurons, leading to drug-taking habits that can last a lifetime.
