Neurons found in one of the oldest regions of the brain may control when we stop eating a meal, new research in mice hints.

including the cerebellum and brain stem. These also fulfill critical functions. Running through parts of the brain are a dozen pairs of cranial nerves, which link the brain directly to muscles and ...

The researchers analyzed which parts of each chromosome were available for expressing ... express genes normally found across three mature cell types. Many stem cells in the developing brain mature ...

Researchers identified the mechanism mice use to overcome instinctive fear, saying it may help research for people with ...

The researchers analyzed which parts of each chromosome were ... found across three mature cell types. Many stem cells in the developing brain mature into just one cell type, like a neuron or ...

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have discovered a way to stop tumor growth before it starts for a ...

The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor.

The work could lead to improvements to stem cell therapy and contribute to the development of other treatments with similar impacts on the brain. An ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to part ...

Optimizing these conditions can help transplanted stem cells survive, integrate with local brain cells, and stimulate the body’s own repair mechanisms. George and his team examined whether neural stem ...

The brain stem, illustrated in orange above, connects the main part of the brain to the spinal cord. (Image credit: Shutterstock) The team focused on the brain stems of mice to build on research ...
