The links between neurons are crucial to the brain, and brain cells can reorganize they way they are linked together in a ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal ...

A new study published in eLife has found that a remarkably rare type of neuron acts as a master conductor for the brain’s ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about digital healthcare, biotech & innovation in medicine. Restoring function to a specific type of nerve cell in the ...

A study from UCLA neurologists challenges the idea that the brain recruits existing neurons to take over for those that are lost from stroke. It shows that in mice, undamaged neurons do not change ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...

Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...
