Regulator of first responder cells to brain injury
Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the brain, yet there is still much to learn about them. For instance, […]
Research from the lab of Mark Alkema, PhD, professor of neurobiology, sheds light on how the “flight-or-flight” response impairs long-term […] The cerebral cortex acts as the control centre of our cognitive processes. During embryogenesis, dozens of types of neurons with […] Injuries to nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves usually result in functional losses as the nerve […] University of California, Irvine researchers have made it possible to learn how key human brain cells respond to Alzheimer’s, vaulting […] Cerebral organoids are artificially grown, 3D tissue cultures that resemble the human brain. Now, researchers from Japan report functional neural […] How dormant neural stem cells in fruit flies are activated and generate new neurons is described in a new research […] Like airport security barriers that either clear authorized travelers or block unauthorized travelers and their luggage from accessing central operation […] A collaborative investigation has revealed new insight into how room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) conduct electricity, which may have a […] A new drug that inhibits neonatal seizures in rodent models could open up new avenues for the treatment of epilepsy […]Nervous System
