Washington DC [US], May 16 (ANI): Researchers have shown for the first time that malfunctioning mitochondria, the cell’s energy generators, may directly cause cognitive decline in neurodegenerative ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Dual-technique breakthrough: By merging SMLM’s ultra-high resolution with SIM’s ability to capture motion, researchers can build a richer picture of neuron structure and activity. Impact on ...

Neuron networks in the brains hippocampus, the memory centre, are dense with connections that appear random, but as animals mature, the networks become sparser but more structured and refined, a study ...

The odor receptors in the nose are not distributed at random but organized in a precise spatial pattern, two new studies reveal. By Emily Anthes Over the last century, scientists have mapped several ...

The mouse was genetically modified to express green fluorescent protein in smell neurons. A small subset of dying neurons is ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have successfully demonstrated that disrupting an eye structure long suspected of blocking the growth and survival of transplanted nerve cells may help ...

An experimental RNA-based therapy shows promise for ALS by preventing TDP-43 protein clumping. The therapy halted motor neuron loss in mouse models. Researchers hope to one day move the treatment to ...

Biologists have long puzzled over why organisms with similar numbers of protein-coding genes can differ so dramatically in ...
