University of Oregon neuroscientists have identified a group of brain cells that essentially act as a "disappointment meter," ...

The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, and for decades scientists have assumed that these cells are the primary ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...

New research discovers a lateral habenula cell group acting as a disappointment meter when reality misses expectations.

A new study published in Nature Communications shows that human glial progenitor cells are a promising and safe cell product ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
