Not all brain cells are found in the brain. 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.

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

Why don't humans grow new brain cells? A new study shows "tunneling" neurons in songbirds may explain our limited capacity ...

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.

Despite its small size—it could sit in the palm of your hand—the zebra finch is a remarkable learner. A songbird native to ...
