Stationed within the meninges, squads of immune cells lie in wait, ready to unleash an inflammatory assault within the brain if needed. Holding these trigger-happy troops back during peacetime falls ...

Within the irradiated hippocampus, precursor proliferation is reduced by 62% and neuro-genesis is almost entirely ablated. The absence of neurogenesis could be due to the dysfunction and/or loss ...

In the latest study, Shawn Sorrells and Mercedes Paredes of the University of California, San Francisco, and their colleagues wanted to search for evidence of neurogenesis in human brains and test a ...
