A Brand New Type of Brain Cell | SciShow News

Two teams of scientists in two different parts of the world discovered a previously unknown neuron, which might have a lot to do with what makes humans, human.

Rosehips are red,
This neuron is new.
Scientists just found it.
But what does it do?

I love to see scientists not competing but banding together for a better cause, even across nationalities. Good work, everyone!

[electricfanman]

Yes! My brain cell count went from 2 to 5. Thank you Sci Show, very cool.

Well done! Good pronunciation of the city.
Great hug from Szeged, Hungary!

Whoa. I’m taking college level Biology (I’m a freshman in high school) and I haven’t noticed how much information I’ve gotten by watching this channel and related channels. Lol it’s the third week of school and so far it’s just everything I remember from watching YouTube.

Trying to figure out the human brain from the brain of a mouse is like trying to figure out how an x86-64 processor works by examining an ARM processor. Sure you can learn some things, but in the end too many things work differently between them.

I don't want or need it, I already wasted all my old ones. Can I cell it?

[RangerRuby]

Wow! This video was so ool! It is interesting to see that even though we have been studying the human body for years and not know it completely! Thank you for this update and I can't wait for more videos!

I love the passion SciShow has for giving us amazing science news. As a first semester Register Nurse student, they give me the strength to keep grinding in college.

I love how when SciShow posts a video that sounds like clickbait, it's actually never the case. ❤️

Fascinating, hopefully their research prevails with ground breaking results.

well I am a med student and when I heared about these cells I immediatly thought about Golgi 2 cells in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, ,,, which are also inhibitory but to motor nerves beside them and they exist in other lab animals, every day i feel like loving science of the human body more and more

[Nhojneirbo]

I’m ecstatic that they named it after the hip of the glorious Rose plant.

[checkmyplaylist]

Well I'll lose that cell if I watch Johny Johny Yes Papa

[playeryoung]

Does the term "brand new" bother anyone else? I mean, it was always there. I wish they would refer to it as "recently discovered" instead.

[tylerpeterson]

Ahh, the sweet sound of dozens of new grant applications.

Where does a brain go on vacation?



to hippocampus.

[LavenderDahlia]

Nice job, Scishow! And thank you, Michael! 😊

[Kingatje]

Kudos to Mr Aranda for pronouncing Szeged correctly! An interesting discovery. I'm not at all surprised at the chosen name for the new neurons, given our (Hungarians') love for rosehip tea and flowers.

[asiburger]

Keep track of this please! I need to know more, about this! <3
