Animal models have significantly increased our understanding of nervous system disorders. Yet, in spite of these advances, there still remains a large gap in treatment options that are high in ...

Agnes (Yu) Luo, PhD. [University of Cincinnati] After a stroke, extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules known as chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) become barriers to axonal plasticity and ...

How does animal behavior emerge from networks of connected neurons? How are these incredible nervous systems and behaviors actually generated by evolution? Are there principles shared by all nervous ...

Using powerful, newly developed cell culture and mouse models of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD), a team of researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, a group of researchers investigated whether a Western diet in mice and palmitic acid exposure in murine and ex vivo human enteric ...

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists at the University of ...
