Two scientists at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have been awarded nearly $10 million from the National Institutes of Health's Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative for research projects that aim to shed light on the developing brain's cellular infrastructure to better understand brain disorders.
PARIS, France - Scientists announced Wednesday they have restored blood flow and cell function throughout the bodies of pigs that were dead for an hour, in a breakthrough experts say could mean we need to update the definition of death itself.
The discovery raised hopes for a range of future medic
Scientists say they identified a group of brain cells that are involved with human s higher cognitive abilities over other animals, but the cells are also associated with neurological disorders.
Brain cells that are unique to humans are also linked to autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy, according to new research published in the journal Science.
