Newly discovered brain cells count each bite before sending the order to cease eating a meal. Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to ...

Bar. Date. Martini. Olive. Bank. Deep in your brain, neurons known as concept cells are firing. You might have concept cells that fire for martinis but not for olives. Or ones that fire for bars — ...

2024 — Scientists have developed a 'molecular GPS' to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy ... Researchers Design Novel Immunotherapy for Brain Cancer Dec. 3 ...

Targeting Brain Hyperexcitability An ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked, usually due to a blood clot or narrowing of blood vessels. This deprives brain cells of ...

A comprehensive atlas of the human hypothalamus, a brain region that regulates many ... catalogue from more than 400,000 human hypothalamic cells derived from several donors of healthy weight.

One of the most alarming ones was the withdrawal of the US from the World Health Organization (WHO). When handed the paperwork in the Oval Office, he said, "Ohhh. That's a big one." Trump: What is ...

But it quietly grows into a larger mutation—until it eventually crosses a threshold, generates toxic proteins, and kills the cells it has ... the Institute for Brain Disorders and Neural ...

However, the old dogma didn’t die without a fight. Many, if not most, neuroscientists were skeptical, and a few studies raised questions about whether adult humans made new brain cells. Creating New ...

This crew is called the microglia - the immune cells of the central nervous system. Microglia are imperative to maintaining neuronal function by clearing toxins in the brain and central nervous ...

The discovery could lead to new treatments for obesity by targeting these neurons to control appetite. For decades, scientists have studied the brain circuits involved in eating, but the exact ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

Several remarkable things happened: the gray cortex blushed pink. Brain cells resumed the production of proteins. Neurons began displaying signs of metabolic activity just as living cells do.
