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 ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why. It is increasingly clear, though, that the loss of synapses-the flexible and adaptive relay ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal ...

The post The Science of a Romance Scam: How Predators Use Your Mirror Neurons Against You appeared first on Katie Couric ...

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 ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

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

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

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 ...
