A blood test appears to help diagnose and track ALS. The test correctly identified people with ALS 80% of the time. The test ...

The progressive loss of function and structure of neuronal cells is a process that falls under the name "neurodegeneration." Regardless of their etiology, ...

This study demonstrates the critical role of Afadin on the generation and maintenance of complex cellular layers in the mouse retina. The data are solid, which provides important insights into how ...

The preliminary data presented in this manuscript seem valuable. The data are currently incomplete and there are numerous technical concerns, some of which may arise from insufficient description of ...

Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

A new study published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity has found that inflammation in a key memory center of the brain can change motivated behavior in mice, and these changes occur differently in ...

2017; Figure 1). This review focuses on the involvement of neuroglia in neuroinflammation, exploring how glial Cxs contribute to the pathophysiology and progression of AD, PD, MS, and HD and exploring ...

The recent identification of genes that are mutated in human cranial dysinnervation disorders is now shedding light on the functional consequences of perturbations of cranial motor neuron development.

Their discovery could lead to new treatments for obesity. "These neurons are unlike any other neuron involved in regulating satiation," says Alexander Nectow, a physician-scientist at Columbia ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI ...
