The brain is typically depicted as a complex web of neurons sending and receiving messages. But neurons only make up half of the human brain. The other half—roughly 85 billion cells—are non-neuronal ...
Scientists have debated for decades whether the human brain sprouts new neurons throughout life. What would it mean if it could — and how much evidence is enough?
About 20 percent of neurons in a learning brain seem to be doing something counterintuitive. When these cells become more active, mistakes follow. A new computational model of the brain, built to ...
Every day, hundreds of thousands of people undergo general anesthesia, trusting they'll drift into unconsciousness and wake ...
New research shows that enzyme-digested edible bird's nest amplifies nerve growth factor signaling through the ...
Researchers have used microRNA-based direct reprogramming to generate neurons from fibroblasts, providing new insights into late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Aging is the most significant risk factor ...
The spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia—has been studied with a model that incorporates human ...
Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...
In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato, an assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model ...
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Over the last 30 years, studies have shown that a ...
"Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in human brains, but neurons grown in a dish don't seem to follow these rules. Neurons that are cultured in-vitro form ...
