Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

The human brain is not a fast-healing organ. Normally it doesn’t need to be as adult brain cells are stable and last for a ...

The work by the RIKEN team may provide new avenues of research on several brain diseases. Retrograde communication may be critical for memory formation and in such diseases as Alzheimer’s or in the ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...

Janelia researchers are decoding how neurons carry out computations carefully calibrated to an animal's movement and environment to precisely regulate the release of neuromodulators—chemicals that ...

Researchers at Harvard University have found that by placing an array of 4,096 micro-hole electrodes on a CMOS chip, they were able to plot the neurons of 2,000 rats and map more than 70,000 synaptic ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to an upcoming study led by Stanford Medicine ...
