Miami neuroscience research duo discovered how to restore electrical activity in brain cells linked to autism spectrum disorder ...

New research suggests that balance and coordination problems in multiple sclerosis may begin when key brain cells slowly run out of energy.

Abstract: Transcranial AC stimulation (tACS) of the cerebellum can entrain spiking activity in the Purkinje cells (PCs) of the cerebellar cortex and, through their projections, the cells in the ...

Breakthrough method boosts stem cells’ ability to share mitochondria, offering hope for treating aging, heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders by restoring cellular energy. Biomedical ...

Abstract: Long QT Syndrome type 3 (LQT3) arises from mutations in SCNA5 gene encoding the Nav1.5 sodium channel. We studied two novel mutations (G1481V and Q1491H) found in infants who suffered sudden ...

The Importance of Gliotransmitters for Brain Function, Plus Cognitive and Motor Efficiencies Gliotransmitters are neurochemicals released by glial cells. They support communication between neurons and ...

Introduction: The cerebellar cortex is now recognized as a functionally heterogeneous brain region involved not only in traditional motor functioning but also in higher-level emotional and cognitive ...

Researchers have uncovered new insights into why a key part of the brain breaks down in multiple sclerosis, potentially leading to worsening motor symptoms. Credit: Shutterstock UC Riverside study may ...

Mitochondrial abnormalities, or problems in the powerhouses of cells, seem to be a main contributor to the death of important nerve cells in the cerebellum — a brain region involved in motor control — ...
