Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers tracked thousands of neural connections to identify 28 distinct types of dopamine neurons ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

The research details how neurons and glial cells utilize leucine-derived acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) rather than canonical ...

Having a companion nearby can make intimidating situations feel less daunting to mammals. New research in mice reveals the ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

As detailed in a Stanford-led study published in Nature, researchers successfully created a replica of a neuronal pathway responsible for pain transmission in a lab dish called an “assembloid.” The ...

Ferroptosis, a type of cell death, may help maintain neuron balance in the hippocampus, supporting memory, learning and brain ...

A new study discovers a dedicated mechanical itch pathway linked to peach fuzz hairs, opening new targets for eczema treatment.

A sequence of stress signals among specialized clean-up cells in the brain could at last reveal why some immune responses can cause significant nerve degeneration that results in the loss of memory, ...
