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

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

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 disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Greater long-term air pollution exposure was associated with a higher risk of motor neuron disease. Higher levels of ...

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 ...

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

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

A recent large study conducted in Sweden has found that long-term exposure to elevated levels of air pollution may increase ...

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...

While diet changes have long been credited for long-term health benefits, it's not often for brain health. A new UNC study ...

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...
