Now, Cortical Labs has successfully developed a brain-on-a-chip computer primarily designed to aid scientists and researchers ...

About half of all people with diabetes develop diabetic peripheral neuropathy — a painful, often debilitating condition that can feel like burning, stabbing or numbness, especially in the legs and ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor ...

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

A neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved using AI to identify neuron cell types from the brain activity recordings of ...

The human brain consists of about 85 to 100 billion neurons. It also has roughly the same amount of brain cells that support neuron function with, for example, nutrition, oxygen and healing. These ...

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 ...

New research published in the journal Disease Models & Mechanisms offers insights into how glial cells — the supportive cells of the nervous system — may influence the progression of Alzheimer’s ...

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 do with what happens in AD patients.
