Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

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 Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the ...

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 ...

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

This study provides valuable data on the role of Hsd17b7, a gene involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, as a potential regulator of mechanosensory hair cell function. The authors used both zebrafish ...

A multi-level assessment of the relevance of 18 highly conserved neural zebrafish microexons showed that individual deletions of most microexons did not exhibit strong phenotypes, likely because of ...

MPFI Scientists explain their latest discovery that the brain uses an hourglass-like mechanism to keep time, enabling us to precisely control our movements.
