New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

The vertebrate retina is a highly organised neural circuit, comprising diverse cell types that transform light into the complex neural codes underlying vision. At the forefront are photoreceptors, ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

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 ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

The human brain develops over decades, making this process notoriously difficult to model in a dish. Now, scientists have taken a step toward this goal. As described in preprint posted October 2 on ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...
