Our brain wiring seems to undergo four major turning points at ages 9, 32, 66 and 83, which could influence our capacity to ...

The last turning point comes around age 83. The data for this final era is more limited, but the defining feature is a shift ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell ...

Platform studies elusive astrocytes, the brain's most abundant and mysterious cells, responsible for regulating communication ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human ...

Scientists have engineered a nanowire platform that mimics brain tissue to study astrocytes, the star-shaped cells critical for brain health, for the first time in their natural state.

A lightning-fast imaging method is exposing the hidden mechanics of brain-cell communication and offering new clues to Parkinson’s origins.
