New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

An axon is the part of a neuron that sends a signal to other cells. Axons extend from the cell body to contact other cells, generally forming synapses between the two cells. These axons can be very ...

Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that communicate using electrical signals, which propagate down long, wire-like projections called axons. The conduction of these signals requires ...

Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.
