People keep making new brain cells throughout their lives (well at least until the age of 97), according to a study on human brains. The idea has been fiercely debated, and it used to be thought ...

Now, scientists at McGill University, Canada, may have found a key to treating the neurological disease — by transplanting brain cells. Astrocytes — named for their star-like shape ...
