A new discovery by neuroscientists at Brown University's Carney Institute for Brain Science challenges long-held beliefs in ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk towards the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from Yale scientists. Neurobiologists once believed that each neuron held a ...

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

As detailed in a Stanford-led study published in Nature, researchers successfully created a replica of a neuronal pathway responsible for pain transmission in a lab dish called an “assembloid.” The ...
