Neural stem cell treatment was safe and significantly boosted myelin repair in spinal cord lesions in a mouse model of MS, ...

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

Scientists at the Salk Institute have uncovered how a cluster of thalamic neurons links physical pain to emotional trauma, ...

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

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

Here, we address this question further by combining large-scale electrophysiological recordings, to characterize the functional connectivity of developing neuronal networks in vitro, with a generative ...

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

A study by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell-based therapies hold ...
