Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have upended the decades-old dogma of how connections between brain cells are rearranged during states of heightened vigilance ...

An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research. An often-ignored type of cell in the ...

Cancer treatment with a cell-based immunotherapy causes mild cognitive impairment, a Stanford Medicine team found. They also identified compounds that could treat it. After treatment with CAR-T ...

This network has two types of brain cell: neurons and astrocytes. These brain cells communicate with immune cells, called monocytes, that are outside the brain in blood vessels. The authors ...

In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of twenty-three scientists demonstrated that AI can distinguish between different brain cell types from activity recordings of mice ...

By engineering human immune cells called microglia, the researchers have created living cellular "couriers" capable of responding to brain pathology and releasing therapeutic agents exactly where ...

John Ratzenberger is known for so many different loveable roles—Cliff Clavin on Cheers, the voice of Mack in Cars, and Hamm in Toy Story, to name a few. But the 78-year-old also knows his way ...

A new Mayo Clinic study finds that people with Tourette syndrome have about half as many of a specific type of brain cell that helps calm overactive movement signals as people without the condition.

The finding holds promise for the development of future drugs to slow or halt brain cell damage. The study aimed to stop cell death in neurones, a major problem in conditions such as Alzheimer's.

These algorithms have not only described brain cell activity with remarkable precision but also helped develop artificial intelligence with superhuman achievements in specific tasks, such as ...

Our study, published in Nature late last year, provides insights into how brain cells in mice enable this more complex, intelligent behaviour. Unlike machines, humans and animals can flexibly ...
