New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before synapses, the ...
A study by Dorothy P. Schafer, Ph.D., and Travis E. Faust, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, explains how two different cell types in the brain—astrocytes and microglia—communicate in response to ...
Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...
Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands of links with single-synapse precision. The method transforms brain mapping ...
Researchers have produced the first complete wiring diagram of an adult fruit fly brain, tracing roughly 139,255 neurons and ...
Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to a study led by Stanford Medicine researchers. The ...
Researchers assess the impact of sleep deprivation on the brain. A night without sleep produced increased markers of connections between brain cells, showing that sleep in humans may be important for ...
Varun Venkataramani is the winner of the 2025 Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators. A neurologist and group leader at Heidelberg University Hospital, Germany, his work in cancer ...
Neuroscientists at King's College London have pinpointed a mechanism behind the increased neural connectivity observed in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Published in Translational ...
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 ...
COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before ...
