Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

Your nervous system uses billions of tiny, connected nerve cells called neurons to send the messages, which are electrical and chemical signals that tell your body what to do. Your nervous system ...

In A Nutshell Researchers identified CGRP-producing neurons in the thalamus that connect pain signals with emotional threat ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows through your central nervous system, serving multiple roles: it protects your brain, takes out the cellular trash, and even ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are ...

New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

"The peripheral nervous system is smart," says Frank Duca of the University of Arizona, who was not involved in the study. "You have specific neurons within this system that are performing a wide ...
