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 ...

A research team has found the three-dimensional structure of synaptic adhesion molecules, which orchestrate synaptogenesis. The research findings also propose the mechanism of synapses in its initial ...

A study has described how a gene mutation linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disrupts the stability of neurons and “chokes off” their nuclei, impairing their function. The research, ...

Brain mapping is a fascinating scientific endeavour that investigates how our brains are structured and how they change over ...
