Researchers discovered a feedback loop between nerve cells, the immune system and the heart. They think it shows promise as a ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

A recent study by the Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research (HITBR) at the Central Institute of Mental Health ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by ...

Scientists have recreated a pathway that senses pain, using clusters of human nerve cells grown in a dish. Pain pathway in a dish could aid search for new analgesic drugs Scientists have re-created a ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...
