Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

There are many kinds of dopamine neurons located in the uppermost region of the brainstem that manufacture and release dopamine throughout the brain. Recently published research reports a relationship ...

Scientists define five types of colon neurons specialized for sending different signals to the brain. The gut-brain connection is a complicated two-way signaling cascade that is responsible for ...

Dopamine seems to be having a moment in the zeitgeist. You may have read about it in the news, seen viral social media posts about "dopamine hacking" or listened to podcasts about how to harness what ...

Researchers reversed anxiety, depression-like behavior, and social withdrawal in mice by correcting the dosage of a single ...

Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...
