Before scientists can unlock the secrets of the human brain, they must fully understand neurons—the cells of our brain, spinal cord and overall nervous system. Thousands of detailed neuron ...

In a three-dimensional culture system, neurons expressing AD mutations activated glia. CD8+ T cells infiltrated the culture. When both CD8+ T cells and microglia were present, neurodegeneration ensued ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed.

Model produced with 3D printer In the current study, the researchers used human stem cells generated from skin and programmed to become motor neuron progenitors, a type of immature nerve cell that ...

To learn how the whole brain works, it doesn’t do to just record from one neuron—you want to know what every single neuron is doing every millisecond. Now scientists have invented a technique ...

The central feature of the app is the 3D, rotatable model of a neuron. As the app user clicks on pins associated with different parts of the cell, information about that cellular feature is displayed.

A circuit’s memory The scientists, led by University of the Basque Country ’s Mikel Sanz, considered the dynamics of the potassium ion channel through a neuron cell. The variable concentration of ions ...

D-printed organoid scaffolds helped rats regain movement after complete spinal cord injury, a breakthrough led by University of Minnesota.

Meet the Rosehip Neuron: A Newly Discovered Cell in the Human Brain The neuron is not found within lab mice, possibly explaining why mouse studies often do not translate to human brains ...

Researchers at LBNL are contributing to the BigNeuron project, a community effort to advance the state of the art of single neuron reconstruction.
