The research details how neurons and glial cells utilize leucine-derived acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) rather than canonical ...

Researchers at Universidad Miguel Hernandez have identified a specific population of neurons in the central lateral amygdala ...

Irisin, a hormone released during exercise, appears to directly shield neurons from damage in a mouse model of multiple ...

A sequence of stress signals among specialized clean-up cells in the brain could at last reveal why some immune responses can cause significant nerve degeneration that results in the loss of memory, ...

A new study discovers a dedicated mechanical itch pathway linked to peach fuzz hairs, opening new targets for eczema treatment.

As detailed in a Stanford-led study published in Nature, researchers successfully created a replica of a neuronal pathway responsible for pain transmission in a lab dish called an “assembloid.” The ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...

Having a companion nearby can make intimidating situations feel less daunting to mammals. New research in mice reveals the ...
