Human brains take in sensory data at more than 1 billion bits per second, but only process that information at a measly 10 ...

Western blot testing confirmed the presence of CWD prions in the brain, lymph nodes, and nerves in reindeer, but only in the ...

An international team of scientists has uncovered a fascinating piece of the evolutionary puzzle: how the ventral nerve cord, a key component of the central nervous system, evolved in ecdysozoan ...

Human brains process sensory data at a slow rate of 10 bits per second despite receiving over 1 billion bits per second, ...

directing cells where to build the spine and nervous system (the trunk). Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have generated human stem cell models 1 which, for the first time, contain ...

The brain and spinal cord are your body’s central nervous system. The brain is the command center for your body, and the spinal cord is the pathway for messages sent by the brain to the body and from ...

Our strategy is focused on owning the action potential, the fundamental unit of electrical signaling in the peripheral nervous system. This funding will enable human proof of concept studies on ...

Our lab has pioneered the directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into multiple specialized cell types of both the central and peripheral nervous system. The long-term goal is to ...

Gene therapy in the central nervous system (CNS) is hindered by the presence of the blood–brain barrier, which restricts access of serum constituents and peripheral cells to the brain parenchyma.
