Heart attacks are often thought of as a plumbing issue, the result of a blockage preventing blood from flowing through one of ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

Astrocytes are integral constituents of the central nervous system, serving roles that extend far beyond mere structural support. These specialised glial cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a sophisticated, autonomous network of neurons and glia embedded within the gastrointestinal tract, critical for regulating motility, secretion, and blood flow. The ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

The neurons in our brains and bodies do amazing things: sense the outside world, transmit information, guide our behavior. But they don’t do it alone. Using tiny worms with well-mapped nervous systems ...

The brain has many regions that perform different functions. Have students use a map of the brain and brain stem to locate these regions: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, ...

In order for your body to work properly, your nervous system needs to be working properly. Your nervous system is responsible for helping your brain communicate with your body and helping your body ...
