In a revealing Genomic Press Interview published today in Brain Medicine, Professor Alexei Verkhratsky dismantles decades of neuroscience orthodoxy with discoveries that position neuroglia as active ...

The other cells, neuroglia, were believed to function as the brain's janitorial staff, keeping the environment appropriate for optimal neuronal signaling. Then, scientists discovered that neuroglia ...

Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in shaping ...

How does a good night’s sleep re-energize the brain? At least in fruit flies, by burning damaged lipids. So claim scientists led by Amita Sehgal at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...
