The cerebellum, a major part of the hindbrain in all vertebrates, is important for motor coordination, language acquisition, and regulating social and emotional behaviors. A study led by Dr. Roy ...

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...

Motor neurons innervate muscle cells to control various voluntary and involuntary movements. The progressive degeneration of motor neurons is the core of neuromuscular disorders, such as ALS. AxoCells ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

The cerebellum, a major part of the hindbrain in all vertebrates, is important for motor coordination, language acquisition, and regulating social and emotional behaviors. A study led by Dr. Roy ...

The gut-brain connection is a complicated two-way signaling cascade that is responsible for keeping the digestive system working properly and can cause problems when it breaks down. In a study in mice ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

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

New research has uncovered a way to 'hack' neurons' internal clocks to speed up their development. The approach promises to accelerate research into neurological disease. The neurons that make up our ...
