Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

New research shows that astrocytes play an active role in nicotine-induced brain changes, challenging the long-held ...

Groundbreaking brain atlases reveal dynamic neuron and glia development across species, transforming static maps into a living reference for neuroscience.

In humans and other mammals, loss of neurons in the retina due to trauma or disease is an irreversible process that can lead to blindness. But unlike humans, some animals, such as fish, have the ...

Neuroscientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center have found that an often-overlooked type of brain cell called glia has more of a role in brain function than previously thought. In the journal Cell ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...
