Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Stem cell tech simulates ALS, quantum tools decode quasicrystals, and cancer exploits a human mutation—three breakthroughs ...

Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau - a protein known ...

Lab-grown neurons with artificially controlled connections may become a useful alternative to animal testing, particularly as we learn how to accurately characterize their behavior. A research team at ...

Direction selectivity concerning animal survival was critical for the artificial visual system to perceive complex environments. In this letter, we constructed artificial neurons to simulate direction ...
