When light falls on the retina, sensor cells become active and send electrical signals to layers of nerve cells located directly behind them. From there, signals are passed on to the brain.

A popular weight-loss drug may be changing how doctors treat obesity—but scientists are just starting to uncover exactly how it works inside the brain. A group of researchers from the University ...

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the brain's protective layers have roles beyond inflammation control, acting as gatekeepers and aiding nerve cell renewal in memory-related regions.

Cancer researchers first found nerve cells in tumours in the late 1890s, but this insight was shelved for more than a century.Then, pathologist Gustavo Ayala, now at the University of Texas Health ...

The brain's immune system is getting attention at the Society for Neuroscience in Chicago. A lot of research is now focused on the interaction of neurons, glial cells and other immune cells.

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight – without causing nausea. The discovery, made at the University of Gothenburg ...
