Most neurons are created during embryonic development and have no ''backup'' after birth. Researchers have generally believed that their survival is determined nearly extrinsically, or by outside ...

Neurons are the tiny processing units within the human brain and nervous system. Our brains have about 86 billion neurons. Even more are spread throughout the body, communicating by electrical and ...

Researchers have identified a new biomarker that can predict whether or not neurons will regenerate after an injury. The findings could help scientists develop regenerative therapies for spinal ...

In children with autism, neurons were found to be differently dense in some areas of the brain, compared to those without autism.

Neurons in the gut wall can communicate with the brain. A new study has uncovered more information about the mechanism that makes this possible.

A new Yale study reveals that neurons store their own sugar reserves that kick in to keep the brain functioning during metabolic stress.

Researchers in Germany observed certain neurons in the brain are firing when solving different types of math problems.

More than 80 percent of activated medium spiny neurons in the nucleus accumbens expressed reelin mRNA, with average expression about 10 times greater compared to neurons that were not activated by ...

The Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences, reports that human stem cell-derived A10-like midbrain dopaminergic neurons integrate into mouse mesocorticolimbic circuits and suppress ...
