The grid cells generate spatial information — our brain then anchors the grid map to the environment. Whatever site we have — a room, a street, anywhere in this huge world — grid cells ...

Mind Map. By Jonathan Beard. Join Our Community of Science Lovers! ... Then, by inserting the viral gene into these neurons, they cause each brain cell to manufacture the missing protein, ...

The amazing brain cells that link mind and body In “The Angel and the Assassin,” Nakazawa shows how tiny cells called microglia shape our neural circuits. By Emily Anthes.

The current cell map not only charts the many types of human cells, but it also shows the relationships of cells to each other, said Dr. Timothy Chan, a cancer expert at the Cleveland Clinic.

From here, the researchers created a comprehensive distribution map of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides to enhance the characterization of cell types throughout the mouse brain [3]. Akoya ...

The work is part of the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network, which kicked off in 2017 with the aim of generating a comprehensive 3-D reference brain cell atlas for mice (that project is still in ...

For decades, scientists thought of microglia only as immune cells and believed that they were quiet and passive in the absence of an infectious invader. Recently though, that idea has begun to change.

An adult human body contains about 50 to 100 trillion cells. The only cell visible to us without a microscope is the ovum, which is as large as a dot on this page.

The current cell map not only charts the many types of human cells, but it also shows the relationships of cells to each other, said Dr. Timothy Chan, a cancer expert at the Cleveland Clinic.
