In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Researchers catalogue more than 3,000 different types of cell in our most complex organ. The enormous cell atlas offers a detailed snapshot of the most complex known organ. “It’s highly significant,” ...

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems are ...

Researchers have identified OTULIN, an immune-regulating enzyme, as a key trigger of tau buildup in the brain. When OTULIN ...

The science behind our brains is, unsurprisingly, complex. There are approximately 86 billion neurons in the human brain, which form 100 trillion connections to each other – a number so big it can be ...

Brain cancer is rare. Some forms are particularly uncommon, including choroid plexus tumors, pineal tumors, and hemangiomas. Brain cancers occur when an atypical group of cells in the brain ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
