Learn about the two main types of cells in the brain: neurons and glia. Neurons are the excitable cells that communicate with each other and form neural circuits, while glia are the supporting cells that have various roles in the brain.
26 kwi 2021 · Learn about the two main types of cells in the human brain: neurons and glial cells. Find out how they communicate, what they do, and how to keep them healthy.
12 paź 2023 · Scientists have created the first atlas of the whole human brain at the single-cell level, using RNA sequencing and epigenetic analysis. The work reveals the diversity and complexity of brain cell types and their genetic switches, and links them to diseases and cognition.
24 paź 2023 · A comprehensive study of brain cells across species and stages of development, using multi-omic and functional approaches. The results reveal molecular characteristics, spatial location and proportion of brain cell types, and their roles in human evolution, development and disease.
Learn about the basic types and functions of neurons, the brain's fundamental building blocks for information processing. Find out how neurons communicate, connect, and change through electrical and chemical signals, and how glia support them.
17 lip 2024 · Learn about the structure, functions, and disorders of the human brain. Find out how the brain is divided into three units, each with specialized lobes and regions, and how neurons are the basic units of the nervous system.
12 paź 2023 · A collection of 21 papers reveals over 3,000 cell types in the human brain and how they vary among people and primates. The studies use single-cell genomics to uncover the genes and functions of brain cells and their roles in brain disorders.
