Scientists at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the University of Bonn led by Prof. Stefan Remy report on this in the journal "Neuron".http ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Billions of nerve cells send signals coursing through our bodies, serving as conduits through which the brain performs its ...

A popular weight-loss drug may be changing how doctors treat obesity—but scientists are just starting to uncover exactly how it works inside the brain. A group of researchers from the University of ...

Researchers have discovered a specific group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the brain that influences eating behavior and weight gain. These nerve cells are controlled by the hormone leptin, ...

Neurologist Dr. Varun Venkataramani (36) from Heidelberg University Hospital will be awarded the Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Early Career Award 2026, the Scientific Council of the Paul ...

Until recently, most researchers assumed that the vagus nerve sent messages up to the brain from the GI tract using the equivalent of one northbound lane on a gut-to-brain communication superhighway.

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...
