Scanning ultrasound appears to slow down aging in healthy brains, a new study reports.
Purkinje cells can modulate and filter incoming signals. The findings shed new light on learning mechanisms within the cerebellum.
Different types of dendrites process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the neuron.
Cancer treatment vaccine research leads to remission in a child with a relapsed neuroblastoma.
A new study reveals caffeine therapy appears to have benefits for healthy brain development in children born prematurely. Researchers report preterm babies given caffeine therapy had better cognitive scores, reduced odds of cerebral palsy and less hearing impairments as toddlers.
New findings about how water enters neurons could help pave the way for the development of new therapies to treat edema.
A new study tests conventional theories on the development of the nervous system and sheds light on how the nervous system may have evolved.
A new study reports researchers have been able to delay key age related brain changes with the help of a compound.
A new study finds protein synthesis in dendrites could be responsible for long-term memory formation in the brain, in addition to other functions.
Human dendrites have different electrical properties from those of other species, a new study reveals. Researchers report electrical signals weaken more as they flow along human dendrites, allowing small sections of dendrites to behave independently from the rest of the neuron.
Researchers have identified a thick band of microtubules within retinal neurons which help provide the energy required for visual processing.
Axon pruning becomes reactivated in neurodegenerative diseases, a new study finds.
