New research reveals that cells outside the brain can store and process memories, challenging the view that memory is limited ...

Scientists have created brain ‘organoids’ that may be showing early signs of sentience. Should that give researchers pause?

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has ...

Mice given the treatment had improved recovery from ... Epigenetic Changes Reprogram Astrocytes Into Brain Stem Cells Sep. 4, 2024 — Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes ...

An analysis of brains at various stages of Alzheimer's found that neurons called inhibitory neurons are the first to be affected by the disease.

This year’s top prize went to Bruno Cisterna, who (assisted by Eric Vitriol) captured a detailed image of the structural framework of neuronal cells. Differentiated mouse brain tumor cells ...

The disease is associated with a buildup of abnormal proteins inside and around our brain cells, the accumulation ... we can see what is happening to a person's brain during the earliest periods ...

though new brain cells are made in certain areas of the brain throughout a person’s life. Following their creation, neurons must migrate to their designated areas of the brain, a process in ...

Now, biotech companies and researchers are interested in developing technologies that can determine not only cell type and location, but also shape and distribution of human and primate brain cells.

The transplantation of astrocytes — a type of brain cell as common as neurons — may provide hope of treatments or cures of some neurodegenerative disorders.

TMS is a noninvasive therapy that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. During a TMS session, a doctor places an electromagnetic coil on a person’s scalp, near their forehead.

The brain, traditionally considered an immune-privileged organ due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), has its own sophisticated immune defense system.
