The circuits of the human brain contain more than 100 billion neurons, each linked to many other neurons via thousands of synaptic connections, resulting in a three-pound organ that is profoundly more complex than the sum of its innumerable parts.

Brain cell death after injury might be due to the release of toxic fatty acids by a specific glial cell.

>> correct. >> and you chose not to do that. >> at that moment i was really scared. >> dana: jonna, im a little speechless with all of this because if this were the case wouldnt he have brought this up a long time ago so police could have followed up on a lead? >> none of this makes any sense. it actually reminds me of you know when children create an imaginary friend so they can blame their misbehaifrn -- behavior on that. rivera has two imaginary friends. his story on the stand made no sense. ...

DAVID WAHLBERG Using stem cells from monkeys with a condition like Parkinson’s disease, UW-Madison researchers grew brain cells that produce a chemical depleted by the disease. When they injected the cells into the monkeys’ brains, the animals’ Parkinson’s-like rigid movements were replaced by more fluid walking and climbing. LOGAN WROGE, STATE JOURNAL The results are promising enough that the researchers hope to begin work on applications for human p...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability and a risk factor for early-onset dementia. The injury is characterized by a physical insult followed acutely by complement driven neuroinflammation.

Study shows how mutant huntingtin protein triggers brain cell death In 1993, scientists discovered that a single mutated gene, HTT, caused Huntingtons disease, raising high hopes for a quick cure. Yet today, theres still no approved treatment. One difficulty has been a limited understanding of how the mutant huntingtin protein sets off brain cell death, says neuroscientist Srinivasa Subramaniam, Ph.D., of Scripps Research, Florida. In a new study published in Nature Communications on Friday, S...

Apparently our host body, who up until this point I figured was a workaholic with a poor diet who smokes and drinks, also has questionable hygiene habits.

Scientists seek to enhance artificial intelligence by integrating brain cells With a new grant from the U.S. Army, a team of scientists will seek to enhance artificial intelligence by integrating brain cells called astrocytes. By encoding a feature of biological intelligence called reinforcement learning, in which we iteratively learn from successes and failures, "deep neural networks" (DNNs) have revolutionized artificial intelligence with spectacular demonstrations of mastery in Chess and Go....

Seeing this entire cast espouse the sacred duty of fornication for 20 minutes is, figuratively and literally, fucking hilarious.
