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. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Motor neurons innervate muscle cells to control various voluntary and involuntary movements. The progressive degeneration of motor neurons is the core of neuromuscular disorders, such as ALS. AxoCells ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...

Japanese scientists have created miniature human brain circuits by joining lab-grown thalamus and cortex models from stem ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

After a decade out of the spotlight, the brain cells once alleged to explain empathy, autism and theory of mind are being refined and redefined. In the summer of 1991, the neuroscientist Vittorio ...
