Neurexin, a cell associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, is an essential molecule for the survival of nerve cells called cerebellar granule cells in the cerebellum. This study revealed that ...

Cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") in red. Source: Life Sciences Database/Wikimedia Commons In a serendipitous discovery, neuroscientists at Stanford University recently stumbled on previously ...

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...

In the cerebellum, granule cell inhibition leads to all the classic signs of being inebriated, such as, staggering, stumbling, slurred speech, etc. When It Comes to Alcohol, Are You More of a D2 or B6 ...

In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato, an assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model ...

UCL scientists have made the first ever recordings of the brain's smallest cells at work sensing the outside world. Their findings could help unlock the secrets of the cerebellum, a key motor control ...

Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an organoid model of the human brain that generates granule cells and Purkinje neurons—two major cell types found in the human ...

Now, in a recently published Journal of Cell Biology paper, scientists used a newer electron microscopy technique, called volume electron microscopy (vEM), to examine how primary cilia on developing ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...
