The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

The Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School has been chosen as one of about 40 sites to see how well benfotiamine can slow ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain's ...

Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence infant brain growth, a trait associated with autism. Researchers have made ...

A new study led by scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and INSERM identified genes essential for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, including a gene linked to a previously ...

Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...

Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. They control nervcell signalling, reduce overactivity and make sure that the brain is working to a rhythm. Researchers ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene linked to a severe neurodevelopmental disorder not previously described.
