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.

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion. Not all brain cells are found in ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

The data shows when the protein is removed from neurons or has its signaling activity blocked with drugs, axonal fibers grew more effectively.

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

How does APOE4 cause Alzheimer's? A new study identifies the Nell2 protein as the driver of neuron shrinkage and brain ...
