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

Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step toward replicating the complexity of the human brain.

Improving neuron survival To assess the therapeutic potential of the new approach, the scientists conducted laboratory tests using human neurons derived from stem cells. The results showed the ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, the team discovered that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules.

These techniques allowed them to label specific neuron populations in the mouse spinal cord based on their activity while selectively activating or silencing these groups of neurons.

What makes humans intelligent? These unique neurons might hold the key Research suggests our intelligence may arise from specialized brain cells only found in humans ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

iAssembloids combine hiPSC-derived neurons, microglia, and astrocytes in 3D spheres. CRISPRi screening revealed genes that affect neuron survival in iAssembloids but not in 2D monoculture. One gene, ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the ...

Scientists mapped every neuron of an adult animal’s brain for the first time It includes all ~50 million connections between nearly 140,000 neurons in the brain of a fruit fly.

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly.
