How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during ...

Two companion studies, published in Cell Genomics, reveal how brain development lays the foundation for both shared and sex-specific circuits, redefining how neural diversity arises.

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory postdoc Stan Kerstjens and colleagues have devised a new theory for how the brain organizes ...

A team of researchers has created a 3D atlas of developing mice brains, providing a more dynamic understanding of how the mammalian brain develops. This atlas provides a common reference and ...

Study maps five major eras of brain wiring from birth to old age, revealing the key turning points that shape how we learn, ...

Researchers have discovered that mutations in the FOXJ3 gene act as a "master switch" failure, disrupting how the brain builds its layers and leading to FCD, a primary cause of drug-resistant epilepsy ...

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...
