Glial cells were once considered neurons’ supporting actors, but new methods and model organisms are revealing their true importance in brain function.

The finding may help to explain why people with SYNGAP1 mutations tend to have learning difficulties and a high tolerance for pain.

Researchers are using souped-up mass spectrometry to localize proteins within brain cells.

Every human brain is far more unique, adaptable, and vulnerable than ever suspected.
