A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrochemical signaling, via connections with other cells called

For the first time, scientists can use skin samples from older patients to create brain cells without rolling back the youthfulness clock in the cells first. The new technique, which yields cells resembling those found in older people's brains, will be a boon to scientists studying age-related diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Growing human brain cells in lab dishes was key to the findings. Researcher Su-Chun Zhang was the first scientist to convert all-purpose human stem cells into neural cells.

By rushing live brain cells from the operating room to the lab, scientists have been able to create three-dimensional reconstructions of cells that reveal their electrical behavior and shape.

MS causes nerve cells to lose their insulating coating. A new study finds that the cells that construct this coat may also be responsible for its demise.

A new study reveals that astrocytes, a type of brain cell, can transform into nerve cells through changes in DNA methylation.
