New research points to molecules which help axons to branch and grow. The study could assist in finding new treatments for nerve regeneration after injury.
Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have developed a therapeutic cocktail of molecules that restored fine motor skills in mice with spinal cord injuries. When applied to mice who had experienced stroke symptoms, researchers observed increased axon sprouting in subcortical areas.
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism which guides the wiring of neural circuits in a developing brain.
A new study reports neurons adjust their synapses by altering the synthesis of hundreds of proteins.
Researchers have developed new software that has been can map out a monkey's brain and easily create a 3D model.
Researchers have developed a new imaging tool that is able to generate images of the brain of an adult mouse at a scale previously thought unachievable.
Researchers have identified subpopulations of neurons in the spinal cord that help coordinate the movement of the arms and legs to ensure a stable body posture during locomotion.
Brain structure abnormalities could predispose people to chronic pain following a lower back injury, researchers suggest.
Researchers have discovered a molecule secreted by cells in the spinal cord that help guide axons during the development of the central nervous system.
