Critical Thinking AI for constructive criticism and science evaluation

Oligodendrocyte lineage cells (OLCs), comprising oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and oligodendrocytes, are pivotal in sculpting central nervous system (CNS) architecture and function. OPCs matu...

A stereotaxic atlas of the whole mouse brain, based on a Nissl-stained cytoarchitecture dataset with isotropic 1-μm resolution, achieved through continuous micro-optical sectioning tomography, promises to be a versatile brainsmatics tool for studying the whole brain at single-cell level.

Glia is the top neurobiology journal for research into glial cells (also called gliocytes or neuroglia). Articles cover all aspects of glial cell biology in health and disease.

Researchers reveal when boys pull ahead of girls in mathematics, sounding an alarm and providing both an opportunity for schools, parents and researchers.

The interstitial space is a crucial fluid media which links neural and glial cells to communicate each other concentration signals, which are essential for h...

Barbay et al. demonstrate that targeting astrocytes can help reduce spasticity following spinal cord injury. They show that enhancing astrocytic Kir4.1 cha

The function of immune pathways in homeostatic neurobiology remains underexplored. Zengeler et al. find that the inflammasome complex, typically associated with immune responses, is involved in memory...

Universities must be frank about barriers to equity, devise clear metrics for what they are trying to achieve and measure progress transparently.

Synapses on different dendritic domains store distinct types of information

Nature Reviews Neurology, Published online: 04 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41582-025-01081-yAutoimmunity in multiple sclerosis (MS) is generally considered to be directed against components of myelin or oligodendrocytes. However, this Perspective argues that an immune attack on the ion and water homeostasis machinery in astrocytic endfeet is the primary event in MS and that myelin damage results from astrocyte dysfunction.

"I know that I am making the right decision because whenever I think about changing my gender role, I am flooded with feelings of relief."

Neurodegenerative disorders are commonly associated with autonomic dysfunction as well as the more well-known cognitive and motor effects. In this Review, Mather describes how properties of neurons in...
