Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

"Most people studying CRISPR have focused on dividing cells, but it turns out the rules of genome editing are different in nondividing cells like neurons," says Gokul Ramadoss, a Ph.D. candidate in ...

Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine, the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital, and the Oregon Health & Science University have identified and mapped ...

Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during ...

The neurons that make up our brains and nervous systems mature slowly over many months. And while this may be beneficial from an evolutionary standpoint, the slow pace makes growing cells to study ...
