The neural circuit basis for motor learning tasks when myelination is impaired has been illuminated for the first time. Researchers also succeeded in compensating for the impaired motor learning ...
July 31, 2009 — A new case report in the July 30 New England Journal of Medicine unveils a novel syndrome called aspartate-glutamate carrier isoform 1 (AGC1) deficiency, characterized by global ...
Efficient removal of abnormal myelin allows survival of nerve fibers targeted by adaptive immune cells, according to a novel study. Myelin is an insulating sheath around axons -- the processes ...
A new Tel Aviv University study finds that gene deletion or deficiency in neurons is responsible for the abnormal hypersocial behavior associated with Williams syndrome (WS), a rare disorder affecting ...
Myelin is an insulating sheath around axons - the processes connecting nerve cells - that is mostly composed of lipids and proteins. It enables rapid conduction of electrical signals and supports ...
Learning has long been a neuron-dominated domain—a process governed by the strengthening and weakening of the connection points between neurons. In the last decade, however, the essential role of ...
Scientists affiliated with the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at Wu Tsai Neuro have discovered a surprising connection between brain cells involved in producing the insulation around nerve ...
The interaction between laminin and β1-integrin on the surface of Schwann cells regulates Schwann cell proliferation, maturation and differentiation. However, the signalling mediators that fine-tune ...
The neural circuit basis for motor learning tasks when myelination is impaired has been illuminated for the first time by an international collaboration of university research teams. They also ...
