The enteric nervous system (ENS), the largest division of autonomic nervous system, is a tantalizing frontier in neuroscience. With the advent of single-cell transcriptomics, the ENS has been ...

Understanding the intricate web of connections within the human brain remains one of the greatest challenges in science. This ...

The brain has neurons that fire specifically during certain mathematical operations. The findings indicate that some of the neurons detected are active exclusively during additions, while others are ...

Researchers have identified a new biomarker that can predict whether or not neurons will regenerate after an injury. The findings could help scientists develop regenerative therapies for spinal cord ...

Children with autism have different brains than children without autism, down to the structure and density of their neurons, according to a study by the University of Rochester Medical Center, New ...

A special set of neurons directs mice's attention to or away from their peers, depending on the situation. The Kobe University discovery has implications for finding causes for neuropsychiatric ...

The secret behind NeuO (neuronal selective fluorescent probe), which accurately identifies and fluorescently stains neurons only, has finally been unveiled. A research team led by Professor Young-Tae ...
