A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.

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 ...

ALS is a heterogeneous disease. While 10-15% of cases are linked to inherited mutations, nearly 85% are sporadic.

Jiangsu Chia Tai Fenghai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has developed a new small-molecule oral compound for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, FHND-1002, which demonstrated neuronal protection in models ...

A set of recent research papers proposes that freezing or selectively tuning a small fraction of neurons inside large ...
