Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

As I enter deep middle age, parenting two teenagers, I find reading about brain development more interesting. The old-school view of becoming an adult at 18 (or 21) seems simple. The more recent ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium ...

How does brain metabolism affect aging? Researchers received a $3.3M NIH grant to study neurometabolic coupling and Alzheimer ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

ALS is a heterogeneous disease. While 10-15% of cases are linked to inherited mutations, nearly 85% are sporadic.

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

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 ...

Abstract: In this work we present a software named Neuron Analyzer and Simulator (NAS). There are some other programs in the field of computational neuroscience which are widely used and had and still ...
