An international study led by researchers from the Instituto de Neurosciencias, UMH-CSIC in Alicante presents a novel multi-omic analysis of the changes in the organization […]
Discovery of the cell fate switch from neurons to astrocytes in the developing brain
During mammalian brain development, neural precursor cells first generate neurons and later astrocytes. This cell fate change is a key process generating proper numbers of […]
How single neurons and brain networks support spatial navigation
Spatial navigation is an essential cognitive function, which is frequently impaired in patients suffering from neurological and psychiatric disorders. Research groups worldwide have studied the […]
Stem cells from hair follicles have potential to repair damaged neurons in mice
A subset of the stem cells in hair follicles have the potential to regenerate the coating that insulates neurons in mice, reports Thomas Hornyak of […]
Study defines differences among brain neurons that coincide with psychiatric conditions
It’s no surprise to scientists that variety is the very essence of biology, not just the seasoning, but most previous studies of key brain cells […]
New insight into the generation of new neurons in the adult brain
Researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, in collaboration with research groups in Finland, Canada and Slovenia, have discovered a novel and […]
Stem cell-derived neurons stop seizures and improve cognitive function
About 3.4 million Americans, or 1.2 percent of the population, have active epilepsy. Although the majority respond to medication, between 20 and 40 percent of […]
