Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what you look like: the pigments of your eyes, of your skin, and the bone ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that damage to small blood vessels in the hereditary disease CADASIL may disrupt ...

Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Abstract: Artificial neurons based on antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin Hall oscillators (SHOs) are promising elements for creating ultra-fast, energy-efficient neuromorphic computing systems. These ...

Neural circuit structure supports function. The underlying image data that yields anatomical connectomes (or wiring diagrams) are typically obtained using volume electron microscopy (vEM) techniques ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, public reviews, and a provisional response from the authors. From a big picture ...
