The detailed mapping revealed an unexpected pattern. One specific section of the dendrite contained an unusually dense ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

A team from UNIGE has shown that neurons positioned in the wrong place can still perform their function without disrupting ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

Scientists have found that a common oral bacterium known as the causative agent of tooth decay can affect the brain and ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

A new study reveals how biological branching networks use surface geometry to shape blood vessels, brains, and plants.
