The very label "neuron doctrine" implies that neither Golgi nor Ramón y Cajal imagined that these cells had any information-processing function.

In healthy rodent brains, newborn neurons are constantly generated in the stem cell niche, known as the subventricular zone (SVZ). These cells might help to repair a brain that has been damaged by ...

Scientists have for the first time established a sensory neuron model able to mass-reproduce two key sensory neuron types involved in pain sensation, enabling the easy generation of large numbers ...

In many neurodegenerative diseases, proteins misfold and clump together in brain tissue. Scientists developed a new therapy made of peptides and a sugar that naturally occurs in plants. The ...

Advantages of the domestic cat species in a model of SMA includes that there is a large body of preexisting literature regarding normal development, anatomy, and physiology of the feline CNS.

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed.
