UAB researchers identify specific trigeminal sensory neurons driving mechanical allodynia, revealing how targeted inhibition ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have successfully demonstrated that disrupting an eye structure long suspected ...

New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

A tiny strip of printed nanomaterials fired an electrical spike, and a living mouse brain cell answered back. That exchange, ...

Electrical stimulation of vagus nerve via implantable stimulators can effectively suppress inflammatory responses, offering a ...

Motor neurons are nerve cells that control our muscles by sending signals from the brain and spinal cord out to the body. In diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), these cells are ...

Scientists have known for more than a century that a single-celled organism with no nerve cells—much less a brain—can behave ...

In two new studies, researchers used genetic techniques to upend a longstanding assumption that nerve cells with scent ...

Brain cells named for stars are finally getting their time to shine. Three distinct studies, published May 15 in Science, show that astrocytes, once thought of as support cells, powerfully shape how ...

A tiny switch in DNA allows neurons to change their function depending on the environment and alter behavior in worms.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have successfully demonstrated that disrupting an eye structure long suspected ...
