When it comes to brain cells, neurons get the most attention. Their central role in our thoughts, sensations and behaviors has captivated scientists. But neurons are only half the story: glia, ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

The figure illustrates the potential of targeting glial cell functions and their interactions with neurons as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegeneration. The mini review brings together emerging ...

Brain function has traditionally been interpreted within a neuron-centric framework; however, this view has shifted toward a model of neuron-glia ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

An estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain govern our body’s functions and conjure — somehow — the human mind. C. elegans has 302 neurons in one sex and a few more in the other.

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...
