"Incredibly flexible" spoken language is produced through delicate patterns in the human brain, the researchers say. To determine whether the patterns are unique to humans, the research team performed ...

A recent study by the Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research (HITBR) at the Central Institute of Mental Health ...

Specialised animal cells include red blood cells, sperm, eggs, nerve cells, muscle cells, ciliated cells, and villi. Get it, lark? Anyone…? Okay let's move on. An animal cell is made of three ...

However, so-called acetylcholinergic nerve cells, which are important for memory and attention processes, appear to play a special role. In animal experiments, tumor growth slowed down when the ...

Current treatments often fail to translate effectively from animal models to humans ... we’ve been listening to the nerve ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities -- are mute, ...

This response of the receptor is important because, inside an animal, those nerve cells are never exposed to environmental temperatures, and the researchers suggest that means they respond instead ...

Scientists are getting into the epidermis to explore how skin and nerve cells interact. “The skin is basically the window to the outside,” said Kathryn Albers, a neuroscientist at the University of ...

Interestingly, the researchers also discovered that oligodendrocytes, brain cells that help insulate nerve fibers, were less affected by tau. This suggests that these cells might help to protect the ...

Tau is a protein that builds up and moves between nerve cells in the brains of people living with Alzheimer’s disease, causing damage. Professor Mudher is using clever genetic manipulation in fruit ...
