Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

Cut off any part of this worm's body and it will regrow. This is the spectacular yet mysterious regenerative ability of ...

Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known to play a role in monitoring food ...

2002). In addition to motor neuron loss, these mice also lose superficial cortical neurons. The number of NeuN-positive cortical neurons was comparable to wild-type at 2 months of age, but transgenic ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...
