Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

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

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

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 ...

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

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

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.

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...

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

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

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