The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University. Knowledge of how the ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
