A cellular recycling system called CMA was found to be impaired in ALS motor neurons. Reduced CMA activity was linked to TDP-43 protein clumps, a hallmark of most ALS cases. Boosting CMA may be a ...

Researchers report (“Daily electrical activity in the master circadian clock of a diurnal mammal”) in eLife the first-ever recording and modeling of the electrical activity of circadian clock neurons ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature’s simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

A new study published in Neuron has found that brief pre-lecture interactions with AI instructors can enhance students’ learning outcomes as effectively as those with human teachers. While both ...

If you feel simultaneously on-edge and burned out—wired but exhausted, foggy by 3 p.m. and still tossing at midnight—your ...

Orthocell Ltd (ASX:OCC, OTC:ORHHF) has reported an 89.7% overall treatment success rate from its ongoing Remplir™ Real World ...

In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several minutes. A new MIT study that focuses on a ...
