Hundreds of different types of neurons make up the neural circuits in our brains. Over the years, scientists have discovered many details about those ...

Louis-Jan Pilaz carves out the morphology of cells in the brain. This sculpture titled, “ Cajal’s Purkinje Neuron ” took him ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

By rewiring a fruit fly brain, researchers have identified attractive and repulsive molecules that drive brain circuit ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University. Knowledge of how the ...

"Most people studying CRISPR have focused on dividing cells, but it turns out the rules of genome editing are different in nondividing cells like neurons," says Gokul Ramadoss, a Ph.D. candidate in ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

Despite delivering the same dose of Cas9 and cutting the same sequence of DNA, the researchers observed wildly different results between the two cell types. They found Cas9 persists much longer in ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...
