Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

A recent study published in the Science Advances Journal demonstrated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and viral fusogens cause glial and neuronal fusion.

A drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to people living ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

Researchers at Rice University have revealed a previously unknown function of opioid receptors in the development of the enteric nervous system (ENS), often referred to as the "brain in the gut." This ...

The nervous system has two major parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central system is the primary command center for the body, and is comprised of the ...

Golgi and Cajal's rivalry reshaped biology, leading to the birth of modern neuroscience with lasting impacts on global health ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a vast network of nerves built into the walls of the intestine. While it is well known ...
