For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

For more than a decade, there’s been growing proof that adult humans can form new neurons in the hippocampus, but scientists were still missing evidence of a missing link known as “neural progenitor ...

The debate over adult neurogenesis may have just been won. New research out of the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden provides evidence of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a finding that could ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Patch-clamp recordings demonstrated that LHON neurons, which typically exhibit impaired sodium and potassium currents, showed restored electrophysiological function after co-culture with MSCs.
