Memories Are Not Limited to Brain, New Study Claims
A study from NYU reveals that kidney and nerve cells can perform memory-like functions, suggesting memory capabilities are not restricted to the brain. By replicating a spaced learning process, scientists observed memory gene activation in these non-neural cells, expanding possibilities for enhancing learning and treating memory-related health issu...

Study Claims Nasal Drops Treatment Could Lead To Quick Recovery From Stroke
The study shows that the C3a peptide affects the function of astrocytes, that is, cells that control many of the nerve cells.

Discovered! Targeting This Blood Protein Can Help In Treating Most Neurological Disorders
A particular blood-clotting protein can hamper repair in the brain. Nerve cells then get exposed to the environment leading to impaired cognitive function and loss of an ability to transmit nerve signals to the brain faster. Read full report here.

Zika Mystery Deepens With Evidence Of Nerve Cell Infections
Top Zika investigators now believe that the birth defect microcephaly and the paralysing Guillain-Barre syndrome may be just the most obvious maladies caused by the mosquito-borne virus.

First Serotonin Neurons Made From Human Stem Cells
For the first time, researchers have used stem cells to create a specialised nerve cell that makes serotonin, a signalling chemical with a broad role in the brain.

Recipe for Painlessness in Humans Discovered
Scientists have discovered a potential recipe for painlessness in humans, by using mice genetically modified to lack a nerve channel that enables people and animals to feel pain.

In a First, Retinal Nerve Cells Grown in Lab
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have developed a method to efficiently turn human stem cells into retinal nerve cells that transmit visual signals from the eye to the brain.

Protein That May Boost Learning, Memory Identified
Researchers, including those of Indian-origin, have found that increasing a crucial cholesterol-binding membrane protein in nerve cells within the brain can improve learning and memory in aged mice.

Scientists Grow Functional Nerve Cells Using Stem Cells
A major breakthrough, the development could accelerate the development of new drugs and stem cell-based regenerative medicine.
