A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

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

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

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.

A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

New research has identified that neuroinflammation driven by microglia (immune cells in the brain) is a primary underlying ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden battle between a widespread brain parasite and the immune cells tasked with destroying it. A parasite that can quietly persist in the human brain is capable of ...

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

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

Now, for the record, that’s not all that life with a cat really is. It’s much more normal (for lack of a better word) than ...
