Researchers debunk what science believed about brain cell structure for 100 years, finding axons form repeating pearl-like ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level of physical activity. Astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus region of the ...

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

Cellular senescence is commonly defined as a state characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest in the absence of cell death, in which cells have altered function. While cellular senescence has been ...

Differences in the physical shape and wiring of the brain can directly contribute to the development of attention and social ...

Webs of star-shaped cells called astrocytes connect distant parts of the brain, allowing long-distance exchange of molecules.

New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

This may sound crazy, but scientists use blood to build soft neural interfaces in the brain, and then control them with light ...

Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that clusters of brain tissue derived from the cells of patients with Alzheimer’s disease may be used to evaluate how ...
