Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is among the most challenging neurological disorders: relentlessly progressive, ...

The brain controls the release of glucose in a wide range of stressful circumstances, including fasting and low blood sugar levels. However, less attention has been paid to its role in day-to-day ...

In the lab, Johns Hopkins University neuroscientist Minhyeok Chang and colleagues identified tiny tubular bridges in the ...

Researchers showed that large motor neurons face high metabolic stress, making them more prone to degeneration. Reducing this ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...

A team at University of Massachusetts Amherst developed artificial neurons that fire in the same voltage range as living cells. Silicon and biology can now speak the same electrical language.

Can We Blame Our Mirror Neurons? Where do these urges come from? Partly from our mirror neurons. These neurons were discovered in 1992 by Giacomo Rizzolatti and colleagues during a series of ...

BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team look at motor neurone disease and if there is a link with the disease and athletes.

A study shows how newly created neurons depend on blood flow to travel to their final location in the adult brain, paving the way for future research on blood flow-dependent cell migration which may ...

More than 150 years after amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was first described, the disease remains one of the most ...
