Scientists at Kyushu University made living mouse brains transparent using blood protein, revealing firing neurons without ...

Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

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

Living brain tissue can now be made transparent, helping scientists see deeper neurons while keeping cells active.

Axons are the long fibers that carry signals between nerve cells, or neurons, in both central and peripheral nervous systems.

Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...

“I tested it three or four times before I believed it,” said Shigenori Inagaki of the discovery that enabled the breakthrough ...

Optogenetics employs a harmless virus to deliver light-sensitive genes to a particular set of neurons in the brain that can then be switched on and off with pulses of light. In a first, UC researchers ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...
