In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Biology textbooks may need a revision, say Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists, who present new evidence that an armlike structure of mammalian brain cells may be a different shape than scientists have ...

White matter pathways allow distant parts of the brain to communicate, supporting memory, emotion, and language. One such ...

In the late 1800s, Spanish neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal drew hundreds of images of neurons. His exquisite work influenced our understanding of what they look like: Cells with a bulbous center ...

The most complicated object in the known Universe is bound to inspire some heated debate, but neuroscientists are now arguing over a basic aspect of the brain we thought we'd figured out. A ...

Axons, the fundamental output structures of neurons, play a pivotal role in transmitting electrical signals over long distances without attenuation in the nervous system. Beyond their classical role ...

Researchers created a human spinal cord organoid, injured it, then applied an experimental therapy. What happened next was ...

Biology textbooks may need a revision, say scientists, who present new evidence that an arm-like structure of mammalian brain cells may be a different shape than scientists have assumed for more than ...
