FORTH-IMBB researchers have developed innovative computational tools to unravel the role of dendrites; complex neuronal brain structures with a key role in information processing. The new software ...

Analysis of chemo-predictive assay for targeting cancer stem cells in 41 glioblastoma patients. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2017 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a ...

Aging is a main risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease. It is often accompanied by reduced cognitive functions, gray-matter volume, and dendritic integrity. Although ...

Pyramidal neurons are mainly associated with cognitive functions in most mammalian forebrain areas, including the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus and the amygdala 1. The hippocampal circuits exhibit ...

A multi-institutional team of brain researchers has discovered some of the ways that the human brain has evolved to allow for better cognitive processing by comparing certain nerve cells from the ...
