Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 6, 2025 – A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that produces them. That vision is suddenly closer to reality, as glowing neurons ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious neurologic disorder that can result in long-term motor and sensory ...

Brain tumors do not just invade healthy tissue. They also physically squeeze it, and that mechanical compression may be enough to trigger neuron death in the surrounding brain. Two peer-reviewed ...

University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and Yale University School of Medicine, along with other collaborators, report that lung adenocarcinoma can engage nerve pathways that link the ...
