Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...
Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Neural circuit structure supports function. The underlying image data that yields anatomical connectomes (or wiring diagrams) are typically obtained using volume electron microscopy (vEM) techniques ...
Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...
