Imagine the brain as the night sky—an expansive sea of tissue dotted with cells of all shapes and sizes. Perhaps the most well known are the filamentous neurons that intertwine with their neighbors to ...
The brain is often described as a dense forest of connections, and for years scientists have searched for ways to trim that ...
In mouse brains, star-shaped astrocytes form flexible networks that may offer another way for brain regions to communicate.
Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have comprehensively mapped molecular activity in the brain and spinal cord that is responsible for regulating the body's response to central nervous system (CNS) ...
Abnormalities in a type of brain cell called astrocytes may play a pivotal role in causing some behavioral symptoms of autism spectrum disorders, according to a preclinical study. Abnormalities in a ...
Astrocytes are a type of cell in the brain that were long known to provide crucial support to neurons. But in recent years, scientists have found that astrocytes have other critical functions. A new ...
Star-shaped cells called astrocytes may bear the brunt of the responsibility for exacerbating the symptoms of some neurodevelopmental disorders. Scientists have now identified a molecule produced by ...
Research in mouse models suggest that astrocytes, a type of cell usually characterized as the brain’s support system, may play an important role in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)-related ...
The analysis of thousands of proteins in the brain has revealed the association of astrocytes with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A proteomic study by researchers from the University of ...
Abnormalities in a type of brain cell called astrocytes may play a pivotal role in causing some behavioral symptoms of autism spectrum disorders, according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell ...
LA JOLLA (August 30, 2022)—Neurons often get most of the credit for keeping our brains sharp and functioning—as well as most of the blame when it comes to brain diseases. But star-shaped cells called ...
