Using a new method to study how carbohydrates modify proteins, scientists have discovered that gut bacteria can alter ...

US researchers have examined almost 100 samples from brains and found an unexpectedly high concentration of plastic in them.

Regeneration and repair in the nervous system is a process by which damaged tissue undergoes regrowth ... This process happens more readily with axons, synapses, neurons and glia in the peripheral ...

This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

Tissue engineering is a set of methods that can replace or repair damaged or diseased tissues with natural, synthetic, or semisynthetic tissue mimics. These mimics can either be fully functional ...

The nervous system is a complex network of neurons and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. Understanding the neural circuits that drive ...

Recently, evidence from experimental human pain research has indicated that in many of these patients pain processing in the central nervous system is abnormal ... to increased pressure in the ...
