Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a vast network of nerves built into the walls of the intestine. While it is well known ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Juntendo University have identified a previously unknown structural domain in ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from ...

Ramnik Xavier, MD, PhD, of the Department of Molecular Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital, is the senior author of a paper published in Science, "Regional encoding of enteric nervous system ...

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...

Scientists report on how higher-order interactions can reshape a system at large -- even global -- scales. Networks, which include nodes and connections, can help researchers model dynamic systems ...

A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a ...

Carbon nanotube fibers invented at Rice University may provide the best way to communicate directly with the brain. The fibers have proven superior to metal electrodes for deep brain stimulation and ...
