Imperial researchers have uncovered a "chemical metronome" in the brain, which helps to synchronize the master clock that tells us when it's time to sleep. In a study of brain cells from mice and ...
What actually happens in the brain in cases of depression? Relatively unknown brain cells—"astrocytes"—are believed to play an important role. At the Uppsala Biomedical Center, lab researchers are ...
For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...
Salk Institute scientists find correcting dysregulations in star-shaped brain cells called astrocytes improves some fragile X syndrome symptoms, making the cells potential future therapeutic targets ...
Scientists have engineered a nanowire platform that mimics brain tissue to study astrocytes, the star-shaped cells critical for brain health, for the first time in their natural state. Astrocytes are ...

Astrocytes directly regulate brain circuits that consolidate memories during sleep, study reveals
Research has shown that a good night's sleep has many benefits, including memory consolidation. How sleep enables the brain to strengthen memories is still not completely understood, but a new study ...

Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their connections. In 2019, ...
A study in mice headed by NYU Langone Health researchers has found that cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections. These pathways appear to ...
As neuronal supporters and immune surveyors, astrocytes and microglia are no mere bystanders to the neuronal mayhem that unfolds in Alzheimer’s disease. At the AD/PD meeting, held March 5-9 in Lisbon, ...
As the central command centers for our bodies, our brains dictate who we are and how we live. And yet we know surprisingly little about them. While the cellular biology of this critical organ has been ...
