The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan.

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.

Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, researchers reported the first comprehensive study of whole-brain projectomes of the ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, a team from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT) of the Chinese ...

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

A Weizmann Institute study has identified hundreds of B2-SINE RNA molecules that drive nerve regeneration in mice. These noncoding RNAs stimulate growth in both peripheral and central nervous systems.

Scientists suggest quantum entanglement in myelin sheaths generates consciousness, offering a groundbreaking new perspective ...

Fainzilber’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that a family of hundreds of RNA molecules with no known physiological function is essential to nerve regeneration. Remarkably, the ...

Importantly, the team found that mutations associated with neurological conditions like autism and schizophrenia can interfere with this precise system. These genetic alterations may disrupt the ...
