The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Air pollution is associated with an increased risk for developing motor neuron disease and disease progression after diagnosis.

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

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

While diet changes have long been credited for long-term health benefits, it's not often for brain health. A new UNC study ...

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. Their study, published today in ...

A recent large study conducted in Sweden has found that long-term exposure to elevated levels of air pollution may increase ...

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 ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

By analyzing tissue from patients with Parkinson's disease, and animal and cellular models of the disease, a research team from the Institut de ...
