The Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted a public workshop on September 12–13, 2016 to more deeply explore ways to motivate and accelerate drug development for nervous system ...

This activity was supported by contracts between the National Academy of Sciences and Acadia Pharmaceuticals; Alzheimer’s Association; American Brain Coalition; American Neurological Association; ...

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists. The first stem cell ...

The development of the vertebrate nervous system relies on dynamic interactions between neurons and their environment, orchestrated in large part by neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs). Among these ...

The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord, and produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system, ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have ...

Researchers at Rice University have revealed a previously unknown function of opioid receptors in the development of the enteric nervous system (ENS), often referred to as the "brain in the gut." This ...

A new breakthrough for spine and nervous system formation was successfully achieved by researchers where they were able to develop human stem cell models that will soon help in addressing the problems ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral network begins to take shape long before birth, as the cells of a growing embryo ...
