It's only during the last few decades that neuroglia, a diverse group of cells found in the brain that perform a variety of ...

A groundbreaking study using PET scans has revealed that autistic individuals have fewer brain synapses, directly correlating ...

In humans, the main molecular energy carrier is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is critical for cellular functions all over the body, especially in the brain. Its synthesis, which occurs in the ...

gene families were particularly relevant to the ventral diencephalon, brainstem, and ICVs. Furthermore, genes involved in intracellular signaling and brain aging processes, such as oxidative ...

“It took an eternity until mathematicians finally invented zero as a number.” Perhaps that’s no surprise given that the concept can be difficult for the brain to grasp. It takes children longer to ...

Hold the morning coffee and meditation: for about 75 days over the span of a year, neuroscientist Carina Heller’s morning ritual included climbing into her university’s brain scanner at 7:30 a ...

Neural stem cells are the source of the brain's primary functional cells. After the initial development of the brain, neural stem cells typically enter a dormant state, conserving energy and ...

Summary: SUMO proteins play a key role in activating dormant neural stem cells, vital for brain repair and regeneration. This finding, centered on a process called SUMOylation, reveals how neural stem ...
