Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

The researchers found that specific neurons increased their electrical firing rate just before certain components of speech, ...

For decades, neuroscientists focused almost exclusively on only half of the cells in the brain. Neurons were the main players, they thought, and everything else was made up of uninteresting support ...
