The odor receptors in the nose are not distributed at random but organized in a precise spatial pattern, two new studies ...

Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, the authors map transcriptional changes in the rat ventral tegmental area following chronic inflammatory pain and acute morphine exposure. Notably, their ...

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands of links with single-synapse precision. The method transforms brain mapping ...

Reviving a frozen brain sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but a new study gives clues to how scientists might one day do that. Researchers in Germany managed to freeze mouse-brain tissue in ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Clumps of mouse brain cells about the size of peppercorns can gain the knowhow to perform a virtual circus trick. With some coaching, these mouse brain organoids learned to keep a pole upright on a ...

A familiar trope in science fiction is the cryopreserved time traveller, their body deep-frozen in suspended animation, then thawed and reawakened in another decade or century with all of their mental ...

Brain death has always been final—until German researchers proved otherwise. Your sci-fi fantasies about suspended animation just got a serious scientific boost. Researchers at ...

Age changes the brain, but why some people remain mentally sharp well into their dotage while others don’t is a bit of a mystery. Part of the answer may have to do with genetics, but now a new study ...
