Harnessing the power of "dancing molecules", researchers have developed a new injectable therapy that repairs tissue damage and reverses paralysis in mouse models. Within four weeks of receiving the injection, paralyzed mice regained the ability to walk.
Damaged axons in mice lacking syntaphilin were able to regrow past the injury site and form functional connections with other neurons.
According to researchers, taking music lessons can increase brain fiber connections in children. Music lessons may also prove a useful tool in treating Autism and ADHD.
According to researchers, a new viral vector will help better understanding of large scale neural networks.
A recent Nature Neuroscience study reports it is glial cells, and not neurons, that direct the initial steps of brain assembly.
Researchers have developed a new technology in order to regenerate functional neurons after brain injury.
Researchers identify a gene which protects against spontaneous, adult onset progressive neurodegeneration.
A new study reports disrupted transportation routes in nerve cells are a significant cause of Parkinson's disease.
A new study reveals both genetics and environment play a role in shaping brain connectivity.
Glial cells pass on metabolites to neurons. Around 100 billion neurons in the human brain enable us to think, feel...
Researchers report Asef2 plays a critical role in the formation of dendritic spines.
A new paper offers an overview as to how neurons communicate with one another.
