Ever since mammalian adult neurogenesis was confirmed, scientists had hoped to get pluripotent cells of the subventricular zone (SVZ) to become something other than olfactory bulb neurons when they ...

Scientists have used precious and rare access to live human cortical tissue to identify functionally important features that make human neurons unique. This experimental work is among the first of its ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

In Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of autism, sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently, causing them to be underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in ...

Conservationists designated August 12 as World Elephant Day to raise awareness about conserving these majestic animals, as elephants have many engaging features, from their incredibly dexterous trunks ...
