Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by ...

A recent study by the Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research (HITBR) at the Central Institute of Mental Health ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...

In a new study, neuroscience researchers at The Ohio State University have discovered a special type of human white blood cell that has the potential to regrow nerve fibers. The study findings, ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

Scientists have recreated a pathway that senses pain, using clusters of human nerve cells grown in a dish. Pain pathway in a dish could aid search for new analgesic drugs Scientists have re-created a ...

A UCL research team has found clues as to why some nerve cells die in dementia and not others, through a new study in fruit flies. The study, published in Cell Reports, is helping to answer one of the ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between neurons is disrupted, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury ...
