Again and again, experiments confirmed it. Without glia, neurons die. So scientists who wanted to study in living animals what glia -- the most abundant brain cells -- do for neurons besides keep them ...

How does a good night’s sleep re-energize the brain? At least in fruit flies, by burning damaged lipids. So claim scientists led by Amita Sehgal at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In ...

New research indicates that glia cells are "the brain's supervisors." By regulating the synapses, they control the transfer of information between neurons, affecting how the brain processes ...

Axons are the longest cellular projections of neurons relaying electrical and biochemical signals in nerves and white-matter tracts of the nervous system. As such, they are critical for neuronal ...

Brain formation requires an astonishing orchestration of events, including process fasciculation, axon–substrate interactions, and target-cell recognition. Assembly is thought to initiate when the ...

Neurons have always been the stars of brain research, but scientists are now realizing that nonneuronal cells known as glia—which make up around 90 percent of cells in the brain—are not the ...

Non-neuronal cells may be pivotal in neurodegenerative disease, but the mechanistic basis of this effect remains ill-defined. In the polyglutamine disease spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7), ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glia, the leader in customer interaction technology, today announced Glia Virtual Assistant (GVA) Learning 360, a first-of-its-kind AI solution that learns how a contact ...

The ongoing push for social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19 has meant that more people than ever are using internet-based services to get things done. And that is having a direct impact on ...
