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

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 ...

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

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

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

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

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

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

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

Levels of certain biomarkers in the blood are associated with symptom severity during recovery from concussion in adolescents ...

A new treatment for one type of Parkinson's disease may be on the horizon after researchers discovered a "brake" that can halt cell death. The study, led by researchers from Stanford University, ...
