Much of our understanding of neural circuits and nervous system function has focused on the connectivity of individual neurons. However, fundamental features of nervous system development, function ...

A recent study published in the Science Advances Journal demonstrated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and viral fusogens cause glial and neuronal fusion.

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

A collaborative research project between Georgetown University’s Maillard Lab and Wang Lab investigates nervous system function through the lens of protein experiments. Individual proteins in the ...

The autonomic nervous system is a complex network of cells that controls the body’s internal state. It regulates and supports many different processes, often outside of a person’s conscious awareness.

A new study shows significant improvements in not only sleep quality, but also in improved autonomic nervous system function using a closed-loop, acoustic stimulation neurotechnology. A good night's ...

This publication provides an overview of central nervous system (CNS) radiotracer development, discussing different aspects and stages of development. Non-invasive neuroimaging with radiotracers can ...

Questions persist about adverse effects such as impaired cognition and attention, incoordination, spasticity, or parkinsonism from chronic, low-level exposures to organophosphate (OP) compounds. In a ...
