Roundworm study identifies proteins that could mediate neuron-glia communication as brain ages
The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...
Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...
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 ...
