Neurons exposed to chronic iron overload do not simply die on contact. Instead, they enter a weakened, primed state that ...
A team at Johns Hopkins University has identified a small, evolutionarily ancient group of inhibitory neurons in the ...
Neurons tucked away in an ancient part of the brain control the ability to pay attention by suppressing distractions and directing focus. The discovery of these neurons in mice by Johns Hopkins ...
Neurons tucked away in an ancient part of the brain control the ability to pay attention by suppressing distractions and ...
The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...
Neurology researcher Humsa Venkatesh investigates the mechanisms behind the intersection of the nervous system and tumor ...
As newborn neurons make their way through the developing brain, they must squeeze through incredibly tight spaces to reach their final destinations. Researchers discovered that this physical journey ...
Motor neurons are some of the largest cells in the human body. In particular, upper neurons—extending from the cerebral cortex to the brain stem or spinal cord—average 60μm in diameter. 3,4 These ...
Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how genes control one another inside the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. Using a powerful new AI-based system called SIGNET, the team ...
