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

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

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

The neurons of our brain may not exist in a single state of matter, new research suggests. As detailed in a study, published in the journal Communications Physics, researchers have found signs that ...

Fluorescent microscopy image of a section of mouse brain. Green is a conventional brain ECM marker. Magenta is the new tool developed by the researchers. Between and around the billions of neurons in ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

Same cuts, different responses Gene editing uses a protein called Cas9 as molecular scissors to cut targeted DNA and change its sequence. In the new study, the scientists discovered that gene editing ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

Placozoans, animals so simple they look like blobby pancakes, have been found to contain cells that may hold the ancestors of modern neurons. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...
