University of Oregon neuroscientists have identified a group of brain cells that essentially act as a "disappointment meter," ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...

Researchers have identified brain cells that are dedicated to measuring disappointment when rewards fall short.

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...

The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, and for decades scientists have assumed that these cells are the primary ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

A new study published in Nature Communications shows that human glial progenitor cells are a promising and safe cell product ...

Neuroplex allows scientists to measure and link neural activity of up to 9 unique cell types in behaving animals, significantly accelerating data collection. Scientists at the Max Planck Florida ...
