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 ...

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

Brain tissue analysis shows reactive microglia in Parkinson’s disease overexpress Fc gamma receptors, which may lead to inappropriate elimination of functional dopaminergic neurons. These findings ...

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

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

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 ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal injury research.

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 ...

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 ...
