The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...
Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...
How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...
Heart attacks are often thought of as a plumbing issue, the result of a blockage preventing blood from flowing through one of ...
Arteries can narrow with fatty buildup. Blood struggles to move. Oxygen drops. A heart attack can follow, and it remains the world’s top killer. Researchers at the University of California San Diego ...
A newly discovered collection of neurons suggests the brain and heart communicate to trigger a neuroimmune response after a heart attack, which may pave the way for new therapies ...
Husniye Kantarci was part of a team that discovered the role of glial cells in controlling neural development, learning and numerous diseases. Husniye Kantarci and Brad Zuchero (left to right) and ...
Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...
Focusing back on the AMsh-AFD interaction, the team asked a follow-up question: KCC-3 appeared to mediate this glia-neuron interaction by localizing specifically to their interface, but how was this ...
