The outcome and infarction size after focal cerebral ischemia is determined in part by delayed neuronal cell death in the borderzone of ischemia. This process is mediated by programmed cell death ...

Additionally, this is the first instance in which a complete pipeline—from histology processing to cortical layer identification—has been made available to the public. Finally, this works represents ...

Cerebral blood flow is tightly controlled by neuronal activity ... To test this hypothesis, we used ex vivo and in vivo approaches in combination with optogenetics to precisely control pyramidal cell ...

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said. By Carl Zimmer On Thursday, 38 prominent ...

Tau deposits primarily affect neurons, but evidence indicates that glial cells may also be affected and contribute distinctively to disease ... Four months after AAV injections mice were deeply ...

The cerebral cortex is a sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the cerebrum of the mammalian brain. It plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language ...

The basic excitatory neurons of the cerebral cortex, the pyramidal cells, are the most important signal integrators for the local circuit. They have quite characteristic morphological and ...
