Biomedical engineers have achieved a major breakthrough in organoid research, pushing us closer to a new era of ...

Neurons that die early in Alzheimer’s help drive brain waste removal. Treating this process sooner could change outcomes.

More specifically, it activates neurons in a specific area of the brain called the ventral tegmental area (VTA). This region is part of what is known as the reward system.

Study discovers neurons in the human brain that can predict what we are going to say before we say it Findings could be used to develop new treatments for speech and language disorders Date ...

The research supports an emerging view among scientists that specialized neurons in the body play an important role in the gut-brain connection, which can affect everything from hunger to mood.

BOSTON – By using advanced brain recording techniques, a new study led by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) demonstrates how neurons in the human brain work together to allow ...

Pardillo-Díaz, R., et al. (2025) The subventricular zone neurogenic niche provides adult born functional neurons to repair cortical brain injuries in response to diterpenoid therapy. Stem Cell ...

Researchers have converted brain immune cells into neurons, replacing damaged ones and restoring function to stroke-affected mice. If the same results can be achieved in human cells, it opens the ...

In three months, these stem cells become mini-brains (organoids) that are 0.5 mm in size. These "mini-brains" have about 10,000 neurons that function and are, in fact, real brain tissue.

It also adds to the evidence that neurons in the body can take on specialized functions, “just like in the brain,” says Yuki Oka, an author of the study.
