Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

Spinal muscular atrophy affects the development of the nervous system more profoundly than was previously thought, a new ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

In order for your body to work properly, your nervous system needs to be working properly. Your nervous system is responsible for helping your brain communicate with your body and helping your body ...

Researchers have enticed transplants of embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons in the spinal cord to connect with muscles and partially restore function in paralyzed animals. The study suggests ...

Astrocytes are integral constituents of the central nervous system, serving roles that extend far beyond mere structural support. These specialised glial cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a sophisticated, autonomous network of neurons and glia embedded within the gastrointestinal tract, critical for regulating motility, secretion, and blood flow. The ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.
