Anticonvulsants used to treat epilepsy work on GABA. And drugs used to treat Parkinson’s disease, such as L-DOPA, promote dopamine function. Other Brain Cells (Glia) Although neurons are ...

Brain organoids developed in Israel for testing and repurposing a wide variety of existing drugs to see if they could treat ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Scientists have studied how glial cells keep axons in shape. But comparatively few studies have investigated how glia protect and maintain dendrites and their delicate cilia.

Using a single-cell sequencing technique, Brazilian researchers have created the first cell atlas of focal cortical dysplasia ...

Sphere of Influence. In iAssembloids, microglia (red) form projections (white arrows), while astrocytes (green) assume star shapes typically found in the brain. [Courtesy of Kampmann et al., 2025.] ...

Although scientists can learn a lot from cell culture and animal models, they cannot truly substitute for all parts of the human body, especially the brain. But scientists have now used human brain ...

Researchers demonstrated that individuals who had childhood epilepsy have an increased accumulation of brain amyloid later in life, potentially predisposing them to late-onset brain amyloid disorders, ...
