Head trauma, and many neurological disorders like epilepsy, stroke, or Parkinson's disease, for example, can cause nerve cell damage or death. It was long thought that neurons could not be regenerated ...
Heterogeneity among somatosensory neurons is necessary for internal and external sensation. Precise patterns of gene transcription orchestrated through enhancer activation maintain heterogeneity. Thus ...
Mirror neurons are a type of brain cell that is activated both when performing an action and when observing another individual perform that same action, a process thought to help an individual ...
