NODE SMITH, ND In the hours after we die, certain cells in the human brain are still active. Some cells even increase their activity and grow to gargantuan proportions, according to new research [...]

NODE SMITH, ND Tohoku University scientists and their colleagues in Germany have revealed that a first-time exposure to only a brief period of brain hyperactivity resulted in an acute breakdown [...]

Node Smith, ND The replacement of lost neurons is a holy grail for neuroscience. A new promising approach is the conversion of glial cells into new neurons. Improving the efficiency of this [...]

Node Smith, ND The brain has a high energy demand and reacts very sensitively to oxygen deficiency. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich neurobiologists have now succeeded for the [...]

Node Smith, ND A very interesting discovery was made recently at a laboratory at UT Southwestern when scientists attempted to transform glial cells into dopaminergic neurons, like those lost in [...]

A new study looks at the role of astrocytes in regulating circadian rhythms through communication with neurons in the brain.1 Astrocytes are glial cells of the central nervous system, which [...]
