Molecular "Stop Signs" May Hold Secret Of Nerve Regeneration
Using brain cells from rats, scientists have manipulated a molecular "stop sign" so that the injured nerve cells regenerate.

One Step Closer To Transplanting Stem Cells In The Brain
Stem cells transplanted into the brains of mice generate more numerous and more mature nerve cells if the brain cells called astrocytes are not activated.

Milestone In The Regeneration Of Brain Cells
A research group has achieved an additional step for the potential replacement of damaged brain cells after injury or disease: functional nerve cells can be generated from astroglia

Learning During Sleep? Researchers Investigate Communication Between Memory Areas
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg have been investigating how memories might be consolidated.

Dopamine Used To Prompt Nerve Tissue To Regrow
A chemist discovered how to integrate dopamine, a type of neurotransmitter, into a polymer to stimulate nerve tissues to send out new connections.
