Discover two unknown structures in the human brain

"Spring cell" and "immune tunnel" are two new structures discovered by two different research groups.

Two new studies have just been published in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience, showing that the human body has so many things that we don't know.

The spring range cells were discovered by a collaborative research group between Szeged University (Hungary) and Allen Institute of Brain Science (USA). These are cells that are found only in humans and possibly in other primates.

The work was done by comparing mouse and human brains and thereby finding anatomical differences between the human brain and other animals' brains.

The name is called "spring cell" because these cells look like a fruit of rosewood with many long, slender and impressive red tails. Research shows that this particular cell is linked to a group of diseases that seem only clear and diverse in humans - mental illness . The determination of the spring cell plays a huge role in the study of mental illnesses.

Another study conducted by Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital (USA) discovered a "tunnel" between the skull and the brain . The work is also done based on comparative experiments on mice.

These "tunnels" are like a shortcut to fast immune cells running from the skull bone to the meninges, enabling people to resist sudden trauma or brain disorders, such as sudden death. stroke.

"Immune tunnels" are turquoise structures that connect two regions of the skull - the brain together - (images provided by the team).

In the past, science had always believed that when receiving "hurtful" signals, bone marrow everywhere on the body simultaneously mobilized leukocytes, bringing them into the blood and then moving away from other parts of the body, Collective brain tissue damage.

However, experiments showed that when brain damage, brain bone marrow provides more white blood cells. Since then, scientists suspect that there is an unprecedented shortcut. Using specific dyes and many modern tools, they found that shortcut.

This new finding could help people take advantage of them, paving the way for new research to save stroke people and minimize sequelae of complications.
