When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...

Scientists hunting for treatments and cures for multiple sclerosis may have found an unlikely ally — the yak. The high-altitude, cold-hardy relative of the cow could be the key to a medical ...

Physical exercise may help reduce inflammation in MS by changing immune activity, a study in mice and patients suggests.

A new Yale School of Medicine (YSM) study has uncovered surprising new details about how our eyes process what we see. When ...

A new review article summarizes the wide-ranging, evolving potential of devices that modulate vagus nerve activity.

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a specialized protein, also called a neurotrophin, that is critical for the development and ...

In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several minutes. A new MIT study that focuses on a ...

Researchers from the DZNE have solved an important puzzle in neurobiology: the wiring and the movement of nerve cells are interwoven, but separately controlled. The study focuses on neuronal growth ...

A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature’s simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.
