A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial pathway that links brain cell activity to the activation of genes responsible for ...

Scientists have pinpointed a brain circuit that, when activated, reduces anxiety without impairing memory. Using ...

General principles of neuron pathway finding throughout the nervous system exist. Comprehension of these concepts guides neuroscience nurses in gaining an understanding of the developmental course ...

The ability to regulate one's own food intake is essential to the survival of both humans and other animals. This innate ability ensures that the body receives the nutrients it needs to perform daily ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

This previously unappreciated "coincidence detection circuit" highlights that the interplay of these opposing pathways ensures proper neuronal migration. Push-and-pull regulates neuron migration ...

Sphere of Influence. In iAssembloids, microglia (red) form projections (white arrows), while astrocytes (green) assume star shapes typically found in the brain. [Courtesy of Kampmann et al., 2025.] ...

Researchers have identified a key pathway that links how neurons send ... The nucleus where the genes that modify neuron function are controlled is a long distance away from where neurons receive ...

Many of the mechanisms during neuron pathway finding are redundant and resilient. Thus, severe aberrations must occur for major developmental abnormalities to be observed. Abberations would be ...

How do multiple biological pathways come together to orchestrate ... modulates Ntn1-Dcc signaling to regulate cerebellar granule neuron germinal zone exit, Nature Communications (2025).
