Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Findings could create new opportunities to treat and study neurodegenerative diseasesScientists discovered that sugar ...

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand hearing functions and open the door to new hearing loss treatments, scientists ...

A substance derived from omega—3 fatty acid, which is found in Far Eastern sardines, reduces neuroinflammation and promotes ...

Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C ...
