Clues revealed on what makes human brain different from other mammals: Study

The researchers looked at a brain region that is unique to primates and essential for higher-order cognition The human-specific microglia type exists throughout development and adulthood

Autistic people

Autistic people's brain cells develop differently from typical individuals

At days 21 and 35, the cells from typical and autistic people differed significantly in a number of ways It suggested that the makeup of neurons in the cortex differs in the autistic and typically developing brain The emergence of differences associated with autism in these nerve cells shows that these differences arise very early in life, John Krystal

Scientists discover protective Alzheimer's gene, develop drug-testing platform

The main challenge in testing Alzheimer`s drugs in clinical trials is that participants need to have symptoms. But once people have symptoms, it is usually too late for treatments to have a significant effect, as many brain cells have already died.

This could lead to loss of brain cells in old age

A recent study has highlighted the importance and activities of the so-called microglial cells in brain aging.

Excessive brain cell growth post injury may cause seizures

Researchers found that that within a month after experimental brain injury, the number of new brain cells declined dramatically, below the numbers of new neurons that would have been detected if an injury had not occurred in rats.

The brain may start 'eating' itself if you don't sleep enough!

The study conducted on mice showed that sleep deprivation can cause parts of the brain's synapses to be 'eaten' by other brain cells.

Scientists create new brain cells from human skin

The study, led by researchers at University of California, Irvine (UCI) in the US, used a genetic process to reprogramme these cells into a pluripotent state capable of developing into any type of cell or tissue of the body.

People with alcohol addiction lack key enzyme: Scientists

In people with alcohol dependence, the production of a key enzyme shuts down in brain cells and the deficiency leads to continued use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, say researchers.

Cocaine makes brain cells cannibalize themselves, says study on mice

Researchers have contributed significant new evidence to support the idea that high doses of cocaine kill brain cells by triggering overactive autophagy (normal physiological process in the body that deals with destruction of cells), while working with mice.
