In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...

Researchers at King's College London have identified the biological nature and timing of changes in human cortical neurons ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...

NeuroDex is developing a blood-based biomarker research platform designed to study molecular signals associated with ...

The mechanisms underlying intellectual disabilities or autism remain largely unknown. Researchers in the labs of Prof. Pierre Vanderhaeghen and Prof. Vincent Bonin at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for ...

Study reveals how proteins direct nerve cell precursors to turn into specialized neurons. Brain development is a highly orchestrated process involving numerous parallel and sequential steps. Many of ...

A new study in zebrafish reveals that the gene nexmifb—a paralog of the human neurodevelopmental gene NEXMIF—plays a critical role in spinal motor neuron development by modulating the axon guidance ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. MIT engineers have now found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual ...
