Nerve cells in the retina work together to recognize contrast and movement, challenging the efficient coding hypothesis, which suggests minimal simultaneous nerve cell activity to conserve energy.

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

Exercise not only benefits physical health but also stimulates neuronal growth, paving the way for innovative nerve repair ...

An average of 1.9 million nerve cells die every minute when a stroke occurs, and it's possible to catch it before it happens ...

Four in every 10 cancer patients treated with chemotherapy develop severe peripheral nerve pain, a new review suggests.

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation. In the setting of ...

Ncardia’s iPSC-derived microglia may aid ALS research and help to screen new therapies that target inflammation in ALS.

This coordinated interaction of nerve cells appears to contradict efficient and energy-saving information transmission, as the individual cells transmit the same signals. The researchers were able ...

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining optimal nerve health is paramount for overall well-being. Nerve-related issues can ...

A new study of nerve cells affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) reveals that the disease-causing gene slowly expands over ...
