Increased neuron growth in the hippocampus through exercise or genetic approaches helps mice forget strong, maladaptive memories, raising the promise of new PTSD or drug addiction treatments Fukuoka, ...

Through a combination of human NSC analysis in the lab and mouse model experiments, the researchers singled out a protein ...

Researchers have used human tracheal cells to create tiny biological robots that can move on their own and work together to encourage healing in damaged neurons without requiring genetic modifications ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS), has identified a protein that regulates the growth of neurons by transporting key metabolic ...

Psychedelic drugs, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), can increase neuronal growth, which can have therapeutic effects for conditions such as schizophrenia. However, such drugs can induce ...

Aweekly drug treatment strengthens neural connections and enhances neuron regeneration in mice with chronic spinal cord injuries, according to a study published in PLOS Biology last week (September 20 ...

(Nanowerk News) Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the University of Technology in Delft ...
