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.

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

In a recent study, researchers used a combination of vitamin K and vitamin A to transform stem cells into functional neurons, offering a potential pathway to restoring lost brain function.

Regenerating neurons may be one way to improve cognition. stanislavgusev/RooM via Getty Images Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory and learning in mice. But in humans, the technical ...

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 ...

Researchers at King's College London have identified the biological nature and timing of changes in human cortical neurons ...

People who carry the APOE2 version of the apolipoprotein E gene are more likely to live to advanced age and are partly ...
