A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Neural precursor cells (green) are have been difficult to identify in human brians. For at least six decades, neuroscientists have been arguing over a big, foundational question: Do adult brains make ...

Scientists from the Institut Pasteur and the CNRS were able to make real-time observations over a period of several months that reveal how new adult-born neurons are formed and evolve in the olfactory ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

Scientists may have discovered an innovative method to address one of the major challenges in neurodegenerative disease research. Last Friday, a study published in Science by researchers at Washington ...
