MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...
Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation ...
Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed a detailed single-cell atlas of the developing human brain, offering a new reference point for evaluating lab-grown neurons used in Parkinson’s ...
Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...
About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...
The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...
Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers ...
Single-cell analyses revealed molecular profiles that can distinguish PTSD from depression, potentially leading to better drugs for this psychiatric disorder. To test this hypothesis, Girgenti and his ...
A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development.
