Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report that extracellular vesicles released into the bloodstream ...

The neurons in our brains and bodies do amazing things: sense the outside world, transmit information, guide our behavior. But they don’t do it alone. Using tiny worms with well-mapped nervous systems ...

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

Down syndrome is caused by an error in cell division during development. Individuals receive three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the typical two copies, resulting in duplicates of the genes ...

Researchers have made a surprising discovery linking Delta/Notch signaling in subperineurial glia (SPG) to the regulation of nerve ensheathment and neurotransmitter release at the Drosophila ...

A drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to people living ...

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, 18 March 2025 – A pioneering peer-reviewed research study published in Brain Medicine provides compelling evidence that maternal infections during pregnancy can have lasting ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...
