Miniature brain models (organoids) help evaluate treatments for myelin damage in multiple sclerosis. These human-derived ...
Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new study in mice. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that ...
For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed the data, published landmark papers, and moved on. Then a computer model ...
A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
While much is mysterious about the aging process, change over time remains its cornerstone. The biological shifts that ...
A new study published in the journal Neuron provides evidence that the brain stores competing memories of alcohol use and the ...
The blood-brain barrier protects the central nervous system by tightly regulating what crosses between the two compartments. Neurons are vulnerable if the barrier suffers damage or weakens with age, ...
New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.
