A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from ...

The progression of Alzheimer's disease is poorly understood, but new research may have found how the plaques that cause it ...

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, ...

An international team of researchers, including scientists from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, has uncovered a ...

A study shows how newly created neurons depend on blood flow to travel to their final location in the adult brain, paving the way for future research on blood flow-dependent cell migration which may ...
