Leukemia inhibitory factor can either boost or slow cancer cell growth, depending on the type of cancer. It may have future uses in stem cell transplants, treating cancer, and as a cancer biomarker.

Excitatory neurotransmitters increase the likelihood that a neuron will fire a signal called an action potential in the receiving neuron. There are several types of excitatory neurotransmitters.

FMI researchers have provided new insights into how the brain organizes and processes memories, thanks to a study that looks at the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The paper is ...

The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected networks. For the brain to function reliably, there must be a fine balance ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...
