Stories about: neurons  

Researchers claim to have successfully converted adult human skin cells into neurons that control appetite

Study finds people who meditate lose fewer functional neurons as they age then those who never relax their brain

Scientists zoom in on protein that limits brain power, say removing it translates into memory formation and recall

When implanted into the brains of laboratory mice, the converted cells survived, behaved similarly to native cells

Experiments on mice show injured parts of the brain are eventually populated by new neurons grown from support cells

Even cooler, the UC Davis researchers managed to erase specific memories in the mice whose brains they toyed with

Video debunks widespread belief that us humans only use about 10% of our brain power when going about business as usual

A recent paper describes a previously unknown type of brain cell that behaves fairly differently from the others

Researchers claim to have discovered a set of neurons that might lead to a better understanding of autism

Video details how alcohol consumption affects the cells that make up the human brain

Researchers say this breakthrough could one day help treat Parkinson's, similar conditions

The brain is a pretty amazing organ, uses 20% of the body's energy

The MIT researchers employed light to toy with muscle contractions in laboratory mice

Newly discovered type of neuron tells stem cells to make more neurons

The device is known as FlyMAD, which stands for Fly Mind Altering Device

With this, we can see exactly how reflexes and thoughts form

This might explain why people have trouble remembering their childhood
