New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...
