Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University. Knowledge of how the ...

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...

New neural network tools automate cell alignment and labeling in microscopy, achieving near-human accuracy and dramatically ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

When a person thinks, speaks, eats, walks, or just sits comfortably with all bodily systems functioning normally, the billions of cells that make up the brain and the rest of the nervous system are ...
