Inside each neuron, electrical impulses travel rapidly ... 1 This article explores how the brain's neurons and supporting glial cells communicate through electrical and chemical signals, shaping ...

New studies show that astrocytes, long thought to be support cells in the brain, are crucial intermediaries for relaying messages to neurons.

Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and ...

Here the authors show that microglial dysfunction exacerbates glial CXCL10 expression, harmful CD8 + T cell recruitment, myelinated axon damage and functional decline in aging mice. Nerve injury ...

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.

However, it has so far not been known how local changes in ion concentration affect individual neurons and glial cells ... were "saturated" were the nerve cells activated. This highlighted ...

A research group has identified the so-called PNOC/NPY nerve cells in the brains of mice. When activated, these cells ...

A genetic fate-mapping study in this issue shows that these abundant glial cells can generate both oligodendrocytes and some cortical projection neurons in the adult brain. Figure 1: Sites of ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight -- without causing nausea.

The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.
