Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor ...
"Others have proposed that some glia cells known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) may fire electrical impulses in the rodent brain, but confirming this in humans had proven a difficult task.
The study published in Cancer Cell reveals that a third of the cells in glioma, a type of brain tumor, fire electrical impulses. Interestingly, the impulses, also called action potentials, originate ...
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires ...
Your brain contains billions of nerve cells called neurons that communicate with each other by sending and receiving electrical impulses. A seizure occurs when there is sudden abnormal electrical ...
Interconnected mycelia give off electrical impulses in response to changes in the environment, like the impulses the neurons in our brains give off to communicate with each other. Because the ...
