This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

Mayo Clinic's Translational Neuromuscular Disease Research Lab led by Nathan P. Staff, M.D., Ph.D., studies the biological ...

The brain is typically depicted as a complex web of neurons sending and receiving messages. But neurons only make up half of the human brain. The other half—roughly 85 billion cells—are non-neuronal ...

Researchers have used microRNA-based direct reprogramming to generate neurons from fibroblasts, providing new insights into late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Aging is the most significant risk factor ...

Northwestern University researchers have taken a step toward bridging electronics and the human brain ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that a small chemical compound can restore the cellular waste-disposal system in lab-grown neurons from patients with ...
