It's a statement we've all heard before: "Humans only use 10 percent of their brains." This claim has been passed down through generations, from educators to motivational speakers, and even in popular culture. But how much truth is there to this widely accepted notion? Let's dive into ...
Oligodendrocytes develop from oligodendrocyte precursor cells, also known as OPCs. OPCs are all over the CNS and, much like their differentiated successors (oligodendrocytes), are in close proximity to axons. OPCs form intimate connections with axons called synapses. A synapse is a junction wher...
Previously, research in mice had shown that their neural progenitor cells mature into a conical shape and slow their multiplication within hours. Now, brain organoids have allowed researchers to uncover how this development happens in humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees. ...

Of 100 billion nerve cells in the human brain, how many form after birth For years, the official answer was "zero". Scientists thought people were born with all the neurons they’d ever have. But from 1980s, biologists overturned that doctrine, finding a reservoir of stem cells that becam...

How much memory does the human brain have?Human Brain:The human brain makes up only about two percent of a person's body weight. On average, adult humans' brains weigh a little over three pounds. This makes our brain the largest brain, relative to body size, of any vertebrate animal....
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. scientists have mapped a part of the molecular machinery that helps the brain maintain long-term memories, providing new targets against Alzheimer's disease characterized by memory loss. The study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National ...
