Summary: New research reveals that serotonin in the cerebellum plays a crucial role in anxiety regulation. Scientists found ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

Discover how neural stem cells activate in the adult human brain, unlocking potential for regeneration, repair, and new treatments for neurological disorders. A University of Ottawa neuroscientist ...

The past few months have witnessed rapid advances in our knowledge of brain and spinal cord stem cell biology. Several groups have identified self-renewing embryonic stem and adult neural stem ...

Understanding the neural circuits that drive anxiety may help researchers discover circuit-specific targets and therefore increase the precision of treatment strategies.

Researchers discover the collaborative mechanism between neurons and glia that drives the proliferation of neural stem cells following brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries and strokes can lead to ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation dynamics of neural stem cells (NSCs). These are the stem cells that ...

A research group from Nagoya City University has elucidated the significance of birth in the maintenance of neural stem cells (NSCs).The findings of the study are published in Science Advances.

Embryonic neural stem cells multiply rapidly to increase the number of nerve cells, but that ability to multiply weakens with age. That, in turn, results in reduced cognitive function.

In a paper published online in Nature Neuroscience, the U-M team shows that a particular protein, called FIP200, governs this cleaning process in neural stem cells in mice. Without FIP200 ...
