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 ...
Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic tools sharpen, scientists are now tracing how inherited risk for depression is ...
Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...
Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...
The brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. With billions of cells that create trillions of connections to allow an individual to move, think, and remember, many of its innerworkings ...
New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.
