To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...
A new project disproves uniform sodium baselines in astrocytes, revealing localized micro-domains that manage synaptic health.
The powerful, and often shifty, role that microglia play in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases is a topic of intense study. However, as demonstrated by presentations at the AD/PD meeting ...
Transitions of tonic inhibition in cerebellar granule cells during adolescence. Astrocyte-released GABA (green) increases, spillover GABA (red) from inhibitory neurons (Golgi cells) decreases, while ...
In a study published in Neuron, Ciaran Murphy-Royal, researcher at the Center de recherche du Center hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CRCHUM), and his team show that astrocyte activity in the ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

New Parkinson’s research suggests the brain has a built-in defense system that scientists could learn to activate before neurons die
Somewhere in the tangle of a brain under siege by Parkinson’s disease, immune cells appear to be doing something remarkable: ...
The brain is often described as a dense forest of connections, and for years scientists have searched for ways to trim that ...
The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much information. A new study from MIT researchers suggests the answer may lie ...
