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

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can ...

A University of Alberta research team has discovered a new function for brain molecules known as gangliosides, offering ...

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

Summary: Scientists have built one of the most comprehensive single-cell maps of the developing human brain. The new BrainSTEM framework analyzed nearly 680,000 fetal brain cells to chart their growth ...

Scientists identified two types of brain cells, neurons and microglia, that are altered in people with depression. Through genomic mapping of post-mortem brain tissue, they found major differences in ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, ...

A sweeping analysis of more than 70 studies reveals that short-term fasting has little effect on how the adult brain performs ...

Parents often overlook magnesium, a crucial mineral for children's brain function. This nutrient regulates emotions, aids ...

"This fundamentally changes how we think about the evolution of complex nervous systems," said biologist Jack Ullrich-Lüter.
