This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...

but specific neurons thought to be the first to die in the course of Huntington’s — striatal projection neurons — had accumulated vastly more repeats by the time of death. Up to 98% had ...

By crafting an artificial brain-like environment with microscopic nanopillars, researchers have successfully guided neurons ...

Huntington's disease kills a population of cells called striatal projection neurons, which are located in the striatum, a structure deep in the brain responsible for movement, many cognitive ...

New genetic research shows why some people develop deadly Huntington's disease earlier than others. The findings could lead to better treatments.

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed |brain-like environment| where neurons grow similarly to a real brain.

The locus coeruleus is emerging as a major new area of research interest, with many important functions such as regulating ...

Their analysis confirmed that only striatal projection neurons—the cells primarily affected in the disease—develop significant CAG repeats. Furthermore, once the gene in a given cell reaches ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...
