Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

The extracellular signals and transcription factors involved in motor neuron (MN) development have been identified, but it remains to be seen if these developmental insights can be employed to direct ...

1 Motor Neurons A motor neuron’s cell body is ... Upper motor neurons generally begin in the brain’s motor cortex and interact with spinal interneurons to initiate the neural circuits that generate ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Physical Address: We serve patients ACROSS SOUTH AFRICA. We have advisors covering the Eastern Cape and Garden Route . Our ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Neuropathologically, these mice exhibit widespread tau pathology, affecting the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, brain stem ... of the lower limbs (paraparesis) develops by 5 to 6 months of age (Allen et ...

Published today in Frontiers in Neuroscience, the study fundamentally alters brain and nervous system medicine-giving doctors new clues as to why patients with motor neuron disease, multiple ...

Discover how neural stem cells activate in the adult human brain, unlocking potential for regeneration, repair, and new treatments for neurological disorders. A University of Ottawa neuroscientist ...
