Ever since mammalian adult neurogenesis was confirmed, scientists had hoped to get pluripotent cells of the subventricular zone (SVZ) to become something other than olfactory bulb neurons when they ...

In Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of autism, sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently, causing them to be underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in ...

Scientists have used precious and rare access to live human cortical tissue to identify functionally important features that make human neurons unique. This experimental work is among the first of its ...

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

Conservationists designated August 12 as World Elephant Day to raise awareness about conserving these majestic animals, as elephants have many engaging features, from their incredibly dexterous trunks ...
