Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Major depressive disorder affects hundreds of millions worldwide, but a key to understanding its origins may lie in the brain ...

Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite, is silently affects brain signaling - possibly altering neural balance even in people without ...

Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous system, engaging in many activities to support typical brain function. They do this by facilitating communication between neurons, regulating ...
