Scientists have shown that it is possible to repair an injured brain by creating a small number of new, specifically-targeted innervations, rather than a larger number of non-specific connections.

In 1504, Leonardo da Vinci made wax castings of the human brain and coined the term cerebellum (Latin for “little brain”). Historically, the cerebellum has been considered by most neuroscientists to ...

Stem cells from lost baby teeth (SHED) can treat cerebral palsy, improving motor and brain function even after symptoms appear. A potential new therapy!

The complex human brain controls who we are: how we think, feel, and act. It gives meaning to our world and our place in it. The brain also controls all major body functions. The brain is housed in ...

THIS important monograph is a very valuable contribution to neurological science, for the following reasons:—(1) It further establishes a correlation between histological structure and physiological ...

The human brain is an impressive example of biological engineering, and at the top is its largest part: the cerebrum. Making up about 85% of the brain's weight. It controls everything that makes you ...

In cell culture experiments, stem cells from human baby teeth promoted neural cell proliferation. In rat models, the stem cell therapy improved motor skills and learning, suggesting potential ...
