A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

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

By examining mice across the lifespan, researchers showed that age lowers firing rates in cerebellar Purkinje cells, leading to poorer motor coordination. Reversing this decline improved performance, ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...

The superior colliculus in the mammalian brain takes on many important tasks by making sense of our environment. Any mistakes during the development of this brain region can lead to severe ...

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...
