Ferroptosis, a type of cell death, may help maintain neuron balance in the hippocampus, supporting memory, learning and brain ...

Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the eyes see, not every neuron ends up answering the call to process properties of ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...

A type of cell death linked to iron and oxidative stress could be playing a role in keeping the brain healthy by helping ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

For decades, textbooks told students the human brain contained 100 billion neurons. That figure, repeated so often it became ...

In healthy rodent brains, newborn neurons are constantly generated in the stem cell niche, known as the subventricular zone (SVZ). These cells might help to repair a brain that has been damaged by ...

The distinct aging rates of neural progenitor cells and Wnt signaling dictate mammalian cortical layer proportions.

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...
