Bar. Date. Martini. Olive. Bank. Deep in your brain, neurons known as concept cells are firing. You might have concept cells that fire for martinis but not for olives. Or ones that fire for bars — ...

Oscar-winning actor F. Murray Abraham joins Morning Joe to discuss appearing in 'Beckett Briefs,' an off-Broadway show ...

The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified ...

The brain is made up of many varieties of cells. Traditionally, scientists organized brain cells into two major types: neurons and glial cells. Neurons carry electrochemical signals, a bit like ...

Previous research has found differences in gene expression between humans and chimpanzees, and that human cells tend to have higher gene expression, but the picture was blurry. The brain is made ...

Researchers find that microglia function differently in males versus females, potentially having broad implications for how neurological diseases are studied. A collision happens. Someone is hurt ...

Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. For survivors of the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, only about 5 percent fully recover. Most others suffer from ...

This crew is called the microglia - the immune cells of the central nervous system. Microglia are imperative to maintaining neuronal function by clearing toxins in the brain and central nervous ...
