The wiring of one insect’s brain no longer contains much uncharted territory. All of the nerve cells — and virtually every connection between them — in a larval fruit fly brain have now been mapped, ...
By examining genetic clues that linger in adult cells, scientists have now gained surprising insights into the developmental ...
Nerve cells derived from stem cells and transplanted into mice may lead to improved brain treatments
LA JOLLA, Calif., June 25, 2008--Scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have, for the first time, genetically programmed embryonic stem (ES) cells to become nerve cells when ...
Nerve cells of the vagus nerve fulfill opposing tasks. The gut and the brain communicate with each other in order to adapt satiety and blood sugar levels during food consumption. The vagus nerve is an ...

Looking to study neurological conditions, researchers produce over 400 different types of nerve cells
Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cells in the human brain, according to the latest ...
