Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

HFSPO is pleased to award the 2026 HFSP Nakasone Award to Erin Schuman for her breakthrough related to the function and ...

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as ...

Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and function (neuronal activity) is a fundamental question across many areas of biology. However, investigating this directly in animal ...

New research highlights how astrocytes, long considered mere support cells, actively shape brain network dynamics.

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

Long overlooked and underestimated, glial cells—non-neuronal cells that support, protect and communicate with neurons—are ...

"Our previous studies found that the brain function for associative learning in C. elegans declines over time, and we thought this was due to a decline in neuronal activity with age," said Binta ...

Neurons that die early in Alzheimer’s help drive brain waste removal. Treating this process sooner could change outcomes.

Measuring neuronal voltage signals has traditionally been done through electrophysiology techniques. Highly skilled scientists can use glass electrodes when performing patch-clamp experiments to ...

Neuronal excitation triggers an influx of calcium into mitochondria, triggering transcription of mtDNA. Expression of oxidative phosphorylation components climbs, ramping up ATP. This coupling falters ...
