A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience offers insight into how small grooves in the brain’s surface — known as ...

Researchers have identified a remarkably small but critical piece of genetic code that helps determine how brain cells connect, communicate, and function. The discovery not only deepens our ...

Summary: Long thought to be mere support cells, astrocytes are now shown to play a powerful, dynamic role in regulating brain function and behavior. New research in fruit flies and rodents reveals ...

An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research. An often-ignored type of cell in the ...

However, scientists caution that the discovery complicates scientific understanding of how the brain functions. Imagine a single astrocyte bristling with thousands of synapses whose gating ...

attention and learning alters brain connectivity and function not by acting directly on neurons, the cells known for their quick transmission of information, but through the work of astrocytes ...

New research reveals an important role in brain function involving an abundant, but often-ignored, star-shaped type of glial cell known as astrocytes. Scientists say the discovery suggests new ...

Synchron has reportedly developed Stentrode, which is in early testing Stentrode is said to let users control Vision Pro using brain signals Elon Musk’s Neuralink is also developing a similar ...

Long working hours may alter the structure of the brain, particularly the areas associated with emotional regulation and executive function, such as working memory and problem solving, suggest the ...

Gamma-frequency oscillations in the cortex sync up with the lower end of that, while the auditory nerve, brain stem, and cochlea resonate at the higher pitches. This all comes together to make music ...

The influence of iron on the barrier integrity and stem cell function was further determined by histology, IEC-6 cell, and enteroid culture. ROS content was demonstrated by DHE staining. The ...
