Changes in microglia underlie depressive symptoms brought on by exposure to chronic stress, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers reveal in mice, certain cells within the hippocampus fire when the animal is anxious and this triggers anxiety related behaviors to occur. Read More
Using neurons created from iPS cells derived from people with ALS, researchers develop a new drug which appears to halt the impact of the genetic mutations in some forms of ALS and dementia. Read More
Researchers have developed nanowires that can record the electrical activity of neurons in fine detail. The technology will allow for better investigation as to how the brain works. Read More
A new study reveals how neurons in the GI tract coordinate activity to propel waste through the digestive system. Read More
A new study challenges the assumption of many scientists, that the most active neurons involved in complex activity are also the most important in controlling behavior. Read More
Scripps researchers have uncovered the process that helps control neuron growth. Read More
A new 3-D printed biomaterial is able to mimic the properties of living brain tissue. The new material could be used to enhance regenerative medicine therapies. Read More
In the hours after death, some cells in the human brain not only remain active, they grow in size. Read More
There are billions of neurons in the brain and at any given time tens of thousands of these neurons might... Read More
Researchers discover the activity of two specific neuron types, somatostatin and parvalbumin neurons, correlates with foraging decisions in mice. Read More
Genetically embedded tools in neural stem cells may aid in development of regenerative medicine – critical for safe and reliable... Read More
