The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected networks. For the brain to function reliably, there must be a fine balance ...

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

Somatostatin neurons regulate astrocytes surrounding cerebral blood vessels, enabling more precise delivery of blood volume to specific brain regions, thereby enhancing the spatial accuracy of ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...
