The Blue Brain Project has released a new and enriched 3D digital cell atlas containing more neuron types than the previous version.
Vsx2 neurons are vital and sufficient for spinal cord stimulation therapies to be effective to restore motor function in those with spinal cord injury and for nerve fiber reorganization.
Higher levels of glutathione in the nucleus accumbens correlated with better and more steady performance in motivation-based tasks. Findings suggest improvements in accumbal anti-oxidant function that can be acquired via diet or supplementation may be a feasible approach to help boost motivation.
Researchers have developed a new ophthalmological device that can detect degenerative visual problems such as age-related macular degeneration long before the onset of the first symptoms.
Dampening retromer activity slows down the trafficking of tau in neurodegenerative disorders, a new study reports.
Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation applied to the motor cortex can help improve age-related impairments in learning new motor skills.
A new protocol for differentiating human embryonic stem cells to RPE cells could be a safe and effective approach for treating age-related macular degeneration.
Using algebraic topography, researchers have created an algorithm that requires only a few examples to generate a large number of unique cells.
An innovative new system that includes electronic implants directly onto the spinal cord reactivates neurons that control blood pressure, allowing a patient with multiple system atrophy-parkinsonian type (MSA-P) to retain consciousness when she is in an upright position.
Stress experienced during peripuberty leads to an increase in adipose fat and a reduction in sociability in young adolescents.
Each person has a specific brain "fingerprint", and that fingerprint changes over the course of our lives, a new study reports.
Study reveals how miniature release events help to keep neurons intact and preserve motor neuron function in aging insects.
