Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...

We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...

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 ...

When you get up out of a chair, your blood pressure instantly increases to compensate for the movement and keep you from ...

Hyderabad, have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, ...

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...
