A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

Brain tumors do not just invade healthy tissue. They also physically squeeze it, and that mechanical compression may be enough to trigger neuron death in the surrounding brain. Two peer-reviewed ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

The neuron’s inner scaffold, once viewed as static support, now looks like a gatekeeper. Research findings are available online in the journal Science Advances. The original story “ ‘Gatekeeper’ ...

Researchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine may have found a link between high blood pressure and an overactive sympathetic nervous system.

Through a combination of human NSC analysis in the lab and mouse model experiments, the researchers singled out a protein ...

Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, their study found that chronic compression triggers neuron death by a variety of mechanisms, both directly and indirectly. The ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.
