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

The “missing link” helps adults grow new neurons—something long thought to end after childhood—and that discovery could lead ...

Long overlooked and underestimated, glial cells – non-neuronal cells that support, protect and communicate with neurons – are ...

Molecular clusters on glial cells show they are more than our brain's 'glue' Underappreciated glia play central role in sensory response Date: February 29, 2024 ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons - the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain - are ...

Glial cells influence neuronal migration, axon specification and growth – neurons migrate radially through the neuroepithelium using the processes as scaffolds into specific cortical layers.

Glial cells have long been regarded primarily as supportive cells, but researchers increasingly recognize that they play an active role in the communication between neurons in the brain.

New research has uncovered that neurons store their own glycogen, acting as “backup batteries” to keep the brain functioning ...

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Glial cells, which help neurons communicate with each other, can leave the central nervous system and cross into the peripheral nervous system to compensate for missing cells, according to new ...

Glial cells - active in health and disease. The research team also found that both glial cell types were activated in a model of demyelination.
