Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in shaping ...

The other cells, neuroglia, were believed to function as the brain's janitorial staff, keeping the environment appropriate for optimal neuronal signaling. Then, scientists discovered that neuroglia ...

Focusing back on the AMsh-AFD interaction, the team asked a follow-up question: KCC-3 appeared to mediate this glia-neuron interaction by localizing specifically to their interface, but how was this ...

How does a good night’s sleep re-energize the brain? At least in fruit flies, by burning damaged lipids. So claim scientists led by Amita Sehgal at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In ...
