A new study shows that astrocytes use a protein called Gat3 to manage ambient GABA levels, helping neurons work together to ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to ...

Ancient bacteria that have evolved to become integral to our cells – converting nutrients from food into energy – may also contribute to neurologic disorders, such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and ...

A Bayesian decoder was employed to calculate the posterior probabilities of all position bins. This method assumes that transient counts follow a Poisson distribution and combines transient counts and ...

This valuable manuscript addresses the longstanding question of how the brain maintains serial order in working memory, proposing a biologically grounded model based on synaptic augmentation ...

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

Researchers have observed a mechanism in the brain that may ‘pump the brakes’ on acute pain to prevent overload while not inhibiting chronic pain at all.

Partners are becoming concerned about the FCAS overshooting the 2045 deadline, as bids for the Phase 2, which will produce a ...

Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...
