Coordinated activity between neurons and glial cells is necessary to process sensory information, mediate perception, coordinate behavior and integrate ...

Huntington's disease has long defied attempts to rescue suffering neurons. A new study in Cell Reports shows that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into the brains of adult animal ...

Neurons produced from frontotemporal dementia patients' skin biopsies using modern stem cell technology recapitulate the ...

In trials studying stimulus-evoked brain responses in mice, HyFMRI successfully recorded cell-type-specific calcium signaling alongside whole-brain hemodynamics, revealing new details of how ...

Research on fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of mental retardation, has focused mostly on how the genetic defect alters the functioning of neurons in the brain. A new study focusing ...

A new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers one of the most comprehensive views yet of how brain ...

The human brain depends on a steady stream of energy to keep its complex network of neurons and support cells functioning. When something disrupts that stream—especially glucose metabolism—important ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Stress is a critical risk factor in the development of various psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, trauma-related, and depressive disorders.
