Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons ...

The human brain depends on a steady stream of energy to keep its complex network of neurons and support cells functioning.

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

New research published in the journal Disease Models & Mechanisms offers insights into how glial cells — the supportive cells ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases, excess activation of glial cells causes neuroinflammation and damage to neurons. The study found that increasing glucose uptake in ...

However, it has so far not been known how local changes in ion concentration affect individual neurons and glial cells. Previous attempts to change the extracellular milieu have primarily involved ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of ...

non-neuronal cells in our central nervous system that help support, feed, and protect neurons. Importantly, the ways in which glial cells work have a lot to do with what happens in AD patients.
