A zebrafish study shows that the gene nexmifb is essential for spinal motor neuron development. Its loss reduces motor neurons and axon growth ...
A new Nature Communications study reveals that mouse hippocampal CA3 circuits start life as dense, randomly connected networks before shedding many synapses to form sparse, organized structures suited ...
A mouse pup is born with its hippocampus already buzzing with connections. Not a few tentative links between neighboring ...
During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4).
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes the progressive loss of motor neurons, which ...
Anthropic’s creative app integrations signal a bigger AI shift from chatbot benchmarks to workflow depth, platform control, ...
The odor receptors in the nose are not distributed at random but organized in a precise spatial pattern, two new studies ...
Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human brain development before birth - a resource that resolves longstanding ...
A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.
Neurons that fire together, wire together” is not the full story. A novel mechanism explains how the brain can learn across ...
