Focusing back on the AMsh-AFD interaction, the team asked a follow-up question: KCC-3 appeared to mediate this glia-neuron interaction by localizing specifically to their interface, but how was this ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

In humans and other mammals, loss of neurons in the retina due to trauma or disease is an irreversible process that can lead to blindness. But unlike humans, some animals, such as fish, have the ...

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

Neuroplasticity and development have traditionally focused on synaptic mechanisms as the primary substrates of circuit remodeling. However, recent advances ...

How does a good night’s sleep re-energize the brain? At least in fruit flies, by burning damaged lipids. So claim scientists led by Amita Sehgal at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

The incidence of breast cancer in women has increased significantly over the past few decades, but advancements in targeted therapies have led to a decrease in death rates. Although systemic ...
