Microglia are immune cells that regulate the function and activity of the nervous system. Detailed molecular and spatial studies in mice reveal that different types of neuron govern the density and ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

Scientists define five types of colon neurons specialized for sending different signals to the brain. The gut-brain connection is a complicated two-way signaling cascade that is responsible for ...

The cerebellum, a major part of the hindbrain in all vertebrates, is important for motor coordination, language acquisition, and regulating social and emotional behaviors. A study led by Dr. Roy ...

In their efforts to understand how the brain processes information, neuroscientists are trying to identify all of the different types of neurons in the brain and how they connect with one another.

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Researchers at Princeton University, with the help of 250,000 gamers with crowdsourcing,Brain function mappingAs a result, six new types of neurons (Nerve cell) Was discovered successfully. Princeton ...
