Researchers identified VIP inhibitory neurons in Huntington’s disease and used optogenetics to restore motor neuron activity in mice.
A team at Johns Hopkins University has identified a small, evolutionarily ancient group of inhibitory neurons in the ...
Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...
A study found that stimulating a specific inhibitory brain cell restored normal brain activity and improved movement in ...
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 exposed to chronic iron overload do not simply die on contact. Instead, they enter a weakened, primed state that ...
Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...
What did the very first complex vertebrate brain look like? To find out, scientists turned to an unlikely time traveler: the ...
Your brain can still make new neurons when you're an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? To uncover the relationship between neurogenesis in ...
