According to a new study, degenerating neurons in the brains of Alzheimer's patients measurably responded to a new, experimental gene therapy.
Glial cells not only control the speed of nerve conduction, but they also influence the precision of signal transduction.
Glial cells pass on metabolites to neurons. Around 100 billion neurons in the human brain enable us to think, feel...
A new study reports glial cells use lipids to direct neuron organization in the spinal cord.
A recent Nature Neuroscience study reports it is glial cells, and not neurons, that direct the initial steps of brain assembly.
Researchers have determined a group of genes associated with neurons help regulate dendrites' growth.
Researchers have discovered mechanisms that lead to neurodegeneration.
Researchers were able to measure the speed of neuronal signal conduction along segments of single axons in neuronal cultures by using a high-resolution electrical method.
