In a discovery that redefines our understanding of brain function, scientists shared that individual human neurons are far ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising new role for netrin1, a crucial protein in neural development, as a regulator that limits bone morphogenetic protein signaling in the developing spinal cord.

Memories are created in a matter of seconds. Researchers now may have begun to uncover how behavioral timescale learning ...

This manuscript introduces DendroTweaks, a useful web application and Python library that, compared to existing modeling tools, eases interactive graphical exploration, development, and validation of ...

This important paper takes a novel approach to the problem of automatically reconstructing long-range axonal projections from stacks of images. The key innovation is to separate the identification of ...

Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, neurotransmitters carry signals across the gap, instructing the receiving neuron to pass on an electrical signal to ...

HAMILTON: And Lein says they found one. LEIN: It was quite a surprise, actually. HAMILTON: Because it wasn't in the type of neuron the scientists were expecting. Lein says the team thought they might ...

By snugly wrapping around neurons, these devices could help scientists probe subcellular regions of the brain, and might even ...

MIT has developed light-activated cell-wearable devices that mimic myelin and restore neuron function, offering hope for ...

Researchers have developed tiny, wireless devices capable of wrapping around individual neurons, potentially aiding in the ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale.

Researchers have discovered that adolescent cannabis use might lead to the cerebral cortex's thinning. Their study, utilizing ...
