Motor neuron disease (MND), often referred to by the name of one of its varieties, ALS, is a degenerative condition that ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...

The finding may open a whole new world in the study of Alzheimer's disease, said biophysicist Aneta Stefanovska.

Neurons in the brains of mice tell them to stop eating when they’ve had enough food – and since people probably have the same ...
