Antidepressant harms baby neurons in lab-grown 'mini-brains'
Science Daily. - February 21, 2020Researchers have demonstrated the use of stem-cell-derived 'mini-brains' to detect harmful side effects of a common drug on the developing brain. Mini-brains are miniature human brain models, developed with human cells and barely visible to the human eye, whose cellular mechanisms mim…

Role of the largest of all animal brain cells: Very tough and essential for survival
Science Daily. - February 13, 2020The brains of most fish and amphibian species contain a pair of conspicuously large nerve cells. These are the largest cells found in any animal brain. Biologists have now shown that these Mauthner cells have unique functions essential for survival, the loss of which cannot be compens…

Casting light on the brain's inner workings
Science Daily. - February 11, 2020A team of engineers has created an ultra-small, wireless, battery-free device that uses light to record individual neurons so neuroscientists can see how the brain is working.
-
Initial protective role of nervous system's 'star-shaped cells' in sporadic motor neuron disease uncovered
Science Daily. - February 10, 2020Support cells in the nervous system help protect motor neurons in the early-stages of sporadic motor neuron disease, according to new research from the Crick and UCL.
