Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease rarely strike the same person, a pattern that has puzzled clinicians for years. Instead of ...

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.

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 ...

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

An innovative and scalable proximity labelling method profiled proteins present in the Caenorhabditis elegans brain during learning, identifying known regulators as well as novel biological pathways.

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 ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...
