The information the glial cells send to neurons is what initiates the “ouch”: When researchers stimulated only the glial cells, mice pulled back their paws or guarded them while licking or shaking — ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

YASEMIN SAPLAKOGLU: So the biggest difference between neurons and glial cells is that neurons are the ones that send electrical signals in the brain. They’re the ones that drive our cognitive ...

Results from his Department of Neurogenetics have now shown: In addition to neurons, special glial cells – called oligodendrocytes – play an important role in plaque formation.

The gray AMsh glial cell engulfs several sensory neurons at the tip of nematode's nose. Here the villi at the end of temperature-sensing AFD neuron, which uses the KCC-3 potassium ion transporter to ...

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek ...

Without Glial Cells, Animals Lose Their Senses Date: November 7, 2008 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: Scientists show that while neurons play the lead role in detecting sensory information ...

Research collaboration uncovers a novel mechanism of altered information processing between neurons / Major relevance for learning and processing of sensory input Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg ...

In the journal Cell Reports, Fred Hutch neuroscientist Aakanksha Singhvi, Ph.D., and her team report that a single glial cell uses different molecules to communicate with different neurons ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying in Parkinson's disease, stabilizing the progression of ...

Stressed dopaminergic neurons call nearby glial cells for help. Those calls can over-activate the glial cells resulting in a cascade of inflammatory signaling that, over time, contributes to ...
