Platelet-derived growth factor α receptor (PDGFRA)/NG2–expressing glia are distributed throughout the adult CNS. They are descended from oligodendrocyte precursors (OLPs) in the perinatal CNS, but it ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Lynne Malcolm: It's the All in the Mind on RN, Lynne Malcolm with you. Today we investigate the ...

In mammals, oligodendrocytes mature and axons myelinate during the early postnatal weeks 1,2, processes promoted by largely unknown signaling pathways. Identifying the phenotypic characteristics of ...

In brain disease, microglia can be villains or heroes. How to encourage the latter? In the June 10 Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by Veronique Miron at the University of Edinburgh tried by ...

One in 4,000 people is born without a corpus callosum, a brain structure consisting of neural fibers that are used to transfer information between hemisphere. 25% of them do not have any symptoms.

The corpus callosum connects the left side of the brain to the right side, known as hemispheres. This connection allows information to pass between the two halves. Corpus callosum is Latin for “tough ...

The brain is divided into the right and left hemispheres, and the corpus callosum connects the two halves. This bundle of nerve tissue contains more than 200 million axons (nerve fibers that carry ...

A study by the HSE Centre for Language and Brain has confirmed the role of the corpus callosum in language lateralization, the distribution of language processing functions between the brain's ...

The corpus callosum (shown here in magenta) links the two hemispheres of the brain.(Getty Images) The corpus callosum links one side of the brain to the other. It's not essential for survival, but in ...
