Researchers show how inflammation in pregnant mice can trigger excessive division of neural stem cells in their offspring. This can result in an overgrowth of the brain and autism like behaviors.
Researchers have developed a new method to capture how brain cells communicate with greater precision.
Researchers describe their findings about how the Foxg1 gene is involved in the development and differentiation of neurons and glial cells from stem cells.
A new neuroimaging study identifies differences in brain areas in children with Tourette syndrome compared to peers without the disorder.
Neurons can counteract degeneration and promote survival by adapting their metabolism.
In fruit flies, there is a second barrier in the brain where glial cells ensure a spatial separation for different functional compartments.
Researchers report astrocyte uncoupling could be a cause of temporal lobe epilepsy.
A new study points to a newly discovered system in which the brain removed waste as a potential new tool to treat neurodegenerative disorders.
Following a meal, astrocytes associated with POMC neurons in the hypothalamus alter their shape. After eating, glucose levels increase temporarily. Astrocytes detect the signal and react within one hour, causing POMC neurons to activate and promote the feeling of satiety.
Glial cells pass on metabolites to neurons. Around 100 billion neurons in the human brain enable us to think, feel...
A new study reports networks of astrocytes are altered in areas of the brain associated with mood regulation in some people who committed suicide as a result of depression.
Researchers report they have uncovered a gene responsible for brain development and also discovered how it may work.
