Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

Imagine the magnificent glaciers of Greenland, the eternal snow of the Tibetan high mountains, and the permanently ice-cold ...

Now, researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet say they’ve found the clearest answer yet. They report the discovery of ...

Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing ...

There is little remedy for the devastating effects resulting from neuronal loss caused by neural injury or neurodegenerative disease. Reconstruction of damaged neural circuitry with stem cell-derived ...

Scientists at the University of Western Australia and the Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science have ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their ...

Cedars-Sinai has created a lifelike model of the mysterious and fatal disease that could help identify a cause of the illness ...

“We observed a significant loss of the mitochondrial protein COXIV in demyelinated Purkinje cells, suggesting that mitochondrial impairment contributes directly to cell death and cerebellar damage.” ...

As the neuronal membrane potential changes, the total QD PL initially increases before dropping following cell death or repolarization (right panel; integrated over all identified QDs). t0 shows the ...

The modeling of single neurons has proven to be an indispensable tool in deciphering the mechanisms underlying neural dynamics and signal processing. In that sense, two types of single-neuron models ...
