Lab-grown neurons in a dish respond to drugs, learning in real time, advancing synthetic biological intelligence and neurological research.

Machine learning analysis reveals that individual neurons throughout the brain embed information about their anatomical location in their spike trains, a feature that generalizes across animals, ...

Mitochondrial abnormalities, or problems in cells' powerhouses, contribute to nerve cell death linked to motor control in MS, per a study.

Understanding how neurons collaborate to make decisions could offer deeper insight into fundamental brain function, and how it goes awry in disorders such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, where ...

According to Uppsala University, researchers have successfully used 3D printing to produce lab-grown models that closely resemble human nerve tissue—potentially accelerating drug development for ...

Moreover, scallop-derived lipids reduced the accumulation of lipofuscin, which is an aging marker in nematodes, and increased the levels of neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin).

Scientists have discovered that neurons exposed to Botox (botulinum toxin A) don't just survive—they fight back.

In multiple sclerosis (MS), diffuse degenerative processes in the deep grey matter have been associated with clinical disabilities. We performed a systematic study in MS deep grey matter with a focus ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells ...

New research shows that the brain’s cortex can rapidly reorganize itself after losing neurons, allowing other nerve cells to take over lost functions.

Autophagy is a major catabolic degradation and recycling process that maintains homeostasis in cells and is especially important in postmitotic neurons. We implemented a high-content phenotypic assay ...
