Akiko Nishiyama Explains the Many Strengths of a Degree in Physiology and Neurobiology – UConn Today – UConn Today

Forty years ago,neurologistsand neurobiologistsbelieved that the adult brain became lessplastic and less able to learn and retain new things.Theyhad no idea that non-neuronal cells had anything to do with information processing in the brain, including learning and memory. Now,afterdecades of researchingand characterizinga particular cell type, called glial cells, in the brain, Akiko Nishiyama, professor of physiology and neurobiology and the new department head,can tell youthatthese cells areessential to enabling humans to learn new tasks well into adulthood, thanks to a very dynamic regulation of the ability of oligodendrocyte precursor cells she had found to generate mature myelin-forming cells. She believes that these cells also play a yet unidentified critical role in the network of brain activity

They demonstrate the existence of stem cells in the hippocampus of the human brain – Market Research Telecast

Madrid, Oct 21 (EFE) .- An international team of scientists has shown that there are stem cells in the hippocampus of the human brain that allow the generation of neurons throughout life through a process called adult neurogenesis, something that was known about the brain of some animals such as rodents, but it had never been shown in adult humans. In addition, the work has revealed that neurodegenerative diseases specifically attack these hippocampal stem cells, preventing the regeneration of new healthy neurons

Researchers find a new way to analyze diseased and healthy cells from brain tumor patients – News-Medical.Net

Scientists studying the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor in adults have discovered a new way of analyzing diseased and healthy cells from the same patient. Crucially, the work which has been funded by the charity Brain Tumor Research could pave the way for truly personalized treatment for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
