Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...
New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.
Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...
Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...
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 ...
Glia (light green) respond to the loss of dendrite cilia (dark pink ... these crucial supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications, the study ...
New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...
New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...
