Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small ...

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and ...

As in ALS, the neuronal deficits are selective for motor neurons—sensory neurons and neurons in other brainstem nuclei do not ... of neurons or surrounding glial cells to produce the VEGF ...

Scientists have studied how glial cells keep axons in shape. But comparatively few studies have investigated how glia protect and maintain dendrites and their delicate cilia.

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

These cells have specific morphologies, somal localizations, and division characteristics. They produce neurons that migrate to the cortex, their axons and dendrites forming neural circuits that ...

Cells navigating in complex microenvironments frequently encounter narrow spaces that physically challenge migration.
