For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully produced hundreds of different types of nerve cell from human stem cells in Petri dishes. In the future, it will thus be possible to ...

However, little is known even in modern science and technology how a large number of nerve cells are connected to produce higher-order functions of the brain.

Living tissue from the memory centers of people’s brains reveals sparse nerve cell connections that provide strong, reliable signaling between cells.

In the current study, the researchers used human stem cells generated from skin and programmed to become motor neuron progenitors, a type of immature nerve cell that can later develop into mature ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...
