Researchers have developed 3D "mini-brains" they hope will help speed up the search for much-needed drug treatments for ...

Animal models have significantly increased our understanding of nervous system disorders. Yet, in spite of these advances, there still remains a large gap in treatment options that are high in ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, a group of researchers investigated whether a Western diet in mice and palmitic acid exposure in murine and ex vivo human enteric ...

How does animal behavior emerge from networks of connected neurons? How are these incredible nervous systems and behaviors actually generated by evolution? Are there principles shared by all nervous ...

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists at the University of ...

Cancer has long been framed as a disease of rogue genes, a story written almost entirely in the language of mutations, ...

Diseases of the nervous system refer to disorders that affect any part of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord or cranial nerves) or peripheral nervous system. Structural studies support the ...
