Our bodies are made up of around 75 billion cells. But what function does each individual cell perform and how greatly do a healthy person's cells differ from those of someone with a disease? To draw ...

Every day, our brains adapt and learn, whether it's mastering a new skill or recalling a familiar tune. Central to this adaptability is synaptic plasticity—the process by which synapses, the ...

When you get better at a skill—recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game—sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

Long overlooked and underestimated, glial cells – non-neuronal cells that support, protect and communicate with neurons – are finally stepping into the neuroscience spotlight. A new Florida Atlantic ...
