Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Some parts of the body can recover from injury fairly rapidly. The cornea, for example, can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The human brain, however, is not one of these fast-healing ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to an upcoming study led by Stanford Medicine ...
