including the cerebellum and brain stem. These also fulfill critical functions. Running through parts of the brain are a dozen pairs of cranial nerves, which link the brain directly to muscles and ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Neural Stem Cell Activation: A Key to Brain Repair and Regeneration The reported findings, published today in Cell Stem Cell, will certainly be of deep interest to scientists studying a range of ...

Most acoustic neuromas grow very slowly. As this happens, the tumor begins to press on nearby nerves, blood vessels, and the surface of the brain stem and cerebellum (the base of the brain). The ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

Striking Effects In the new study, Paz and her collaborators tested a stem cell therapy under development by SanBio. One month after rats had a stroke, the scientists injected the modified human ...
