A decentralized nervous system is one factor that helps octopuses adapt to changes, such as injury or predation, as seen in the case of an Octopus vulgaris, or common octopus, that was observed with ...

Using three-dimensional model, researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical ...

Despite the challenge, seeking a better understanding of human nervous system function and the natural world beyond is key to ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

A new study suggests that stem cells thought to be dormant may offer clues to why our sense of smell declines or is lost.

The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and ...

We show here that autoimmune T cells specific to myelin basic protein can protect injured central nervous system neurons from secondary degeneration. After a partial crush injury of the optic ...
