The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.
New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...
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.
Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...
Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...
The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a ...
The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
A new brain device from Northwestern University is asking a daring question: what if information could reach your brain ...
