Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure and function from ...

VIB and Ghent University researchers have identified and characterized a previously unknown cellular barrier in the brain, ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...

A new study reveals a hidden brain defense: base barrier cells. These cells form a molecular seal in the choroid plexus, acting as a gatekeeper against systemic inflammation and potential ...

To consolidate memories, our brains replay them during periods of rest as a kind of 'replay mode'. A new mouse study suggests ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.
