Changes in microglia underlie depressive symptoms brought on by exposure to chronic stress, a new study reports.
Researchers reveal in mice, certain cells within the hippocampus fire when the animal is anxious and this triggers anxiety related behaviors to occur.
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.
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.
A new study reveals how neurons in the GI tract coordinate activity to propel waste through the digestive system.
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.
Scripps researchers have uncovered the process that helps control neuron growth.
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.
In the hours after death, some cells in the human brain not only remain active, they grow in size.
There are billions of neurons in the brain and at any given time tens of thousands of these neurons might...
Researchers discover the activity of two specific neuron types, somatostatin and parvalbumin neurons, correlates with foraging decisions in mice.
Genetically embedded tools in neural stem cells may aid in development of regenerative medicine – critical for safe and reliable...
