A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

The new model developed by Flatiron Institute researchers proposes that biological neurons have more control over their surroundings than previously thought, something that could be replicated in the ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

Labeled micrographs of human neurons exposed to amyloid-beta proteins and either left untreated (left) or treated with the new nanotherapy developed at Northwestern (right). Dead neurons are stained ...
