The question points to a broader trend in neuroscience. Increasingly, researchers are moving beyond asking what each brain ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a discovery that could help refine future stem-cell therapies for paralysis. The ...

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

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

Scientists have made an enormous step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- scientifically speaking, a 'connectome' -- through the brain ...

In the study, "Human stem cell-derived A10 dopaminergic neurons specifically integrate into mouse circuits and improve depression-like behaviors," published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers developed a ...
