Groundbreaking brain atlases reveal dynamic neuron and glia development across species, transforming static maps into a ...

Neuropathic pain, a chronic condition resulting from nervous system lesions or diseases, remains a formidable clinical challenge due to its complex and ...

The axon terminals, also known as terminal buttons, are the branched endings of the axon. These terminals form synapses with other neurons or target cells, such as muscle cells or gland cells. The ...

Dietary choline intake has been epidemiologically linked to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF); however, the mechanistic underpinnings of this association remain poorly understood. Among ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

Recent experiments have challenged the belief that glial cells, which compose at least half of brain cells, are just passive support structures. Despite this, a clear understanding of how neurons and ...

The preliminary data presented in this manuscript seem valuable. The data are currently incomplete and there are numerous technical concerns, some of which may arise from insufficient description of ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI), ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...
