For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka report the development of two fluorescent indicators, Gachapin and Gachapin-C, that ...
