Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...
Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...
A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain's ...
The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...
Allman was searching for a peculiar kind of brain cell that he suspects is a key to how the African elephant—like a human being—manages to stay attuned to the ever-shifting nuances of social interplay ...
