MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...

Single-cell analyses revealed molecular profiles that can distinguish PTSD from depression, potentially leading to better drugs for this psychiatric disorder. To test this hypothesis, Girgenti and his ...

Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed a detailed single-cell atlas of the developing human brain, offering a new reference point for evaluating lab-grown neurons used in Parkinson’s ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation ...

Neuroscientists are closing in on a long elusive goal: pinpointing the exact brain cells that make anxiety surge or suddenly ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
