When parts of the nervous system start to break down—or get broken—the consequences for human health can be staggering. Can ...

Unlike most cells in the human body, neurons-the functional cells of our nervous system-cannot typically replace themselves ...

Systematic screening was the key to success Treutlein and her team have now successfully produced over 400 different types of nerve cell. In doing so, the scientists have paved the way for more ...

The study, led by doctoral student Tatiana Coverdell, began as an attempt to identify the neural pathways from the brain that control heart rate. The human body contains a complex array of neural ...

A UCLA-led team of researchers has found nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue (BAT), a type of tissue that releases chemical energy from fat metabolism as heat – a finding that could ...

When scientists stimulate nerve cells along that pathway in mice, Augustine says, "the heart rate immediately dips, they wobble around a little bit and then they fall over." ...
