Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion. Not all brain cells are found in ...

During brain development, an excess of neurons and neurites, the cellular projections that will eventually develop into axons and dendrites, are produced. These are later scaled back either by pruning ...
