Those bizarre sea creatures that light up like carnival rides are actually ctenophores, which have an ancient brainlike structure.
In the quest to live forever, scientists have explored all kinds of unusual avenues. Cryopreservation is a popular talking point, but we humans and our delicate cells don’t deal well with freezing.
Scientists have uncovered surprising complexity in a tiny sensory structure found in comb jellies, some of the oldest animals on Earth.
Cambridge researchers map the convergence of biomarkers, digital phenotyping, and AI toward biologically grounded ...
Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...
Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...
New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The findings suggest that an elementary brain may have already appeared in our ...
Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.
The MariBell Transmission Project was first proposed during the Nov. 19, 2025, Houston County Board of Commissioners meeting. The project will exchange the current 161 kilovolt line for a double ...
The virus, sometimes called the stomach bug, has sickened some Olympic athletes in Milan. By Simar Bajaj Every year, there’s a surge in norovirus cases between November and April, and this holiday ...
Synapses are the highly specialized connection sites between neurons enabling the establishment of complex neuronal networks. As highly plastic structures, synapses collocate both the transmission and ...
