Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...

Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living ...

The glial cells of the nervous system have been eclipsed in importance by neurons for decades. But glia are turning out to be central to many neurological functions, including pain perception. The ...

In a review published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers discussed the interplay of the immune system and the sympathetic regulation of vital metabolic organs such as the pancreas, intestine ...

Using both mouse and human brain tissue, researchers at Yale School of Medicine have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 can directly infect the central nervous system and have begun to unravel some of the ...

From the vantage point of today ― a time when neurosurgeons regularly resect brain tissue to cure disease and rely on high-tech neuroimaging techniques to make diagnoses ― it's hard to conceive of an ...

Neurobiology profoundly influences our lives, impacting our health, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours (see How Our Neurobiology Shapes Our Daily Lives; Pang, 2023). Despite its importance, our ...

Shimmering, gelatinous comb jellies wouldn’t appear to have much to hide. But their mostly see-through bodies cloak a nervous system unlike that of any other known animal, researchers report in the ...
