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

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

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

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 ...

Super-resolution microscopes have revealed a whole new type of connection between neurons in mouse and human brains. In the lab, Johns Hopkins University neuroscientist Minhyeok Chang and colleagues ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by ...

New research by UCLA Health and UC San Francisco has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the ...

A study on mice identified a group of neurons in the central amygdala region of the brain that display a unique pattern of ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...
