Researchers propose that brain cells inherit positional cues from their lineage and cluster near related cells to form large-scale structure. Mouse and zebrafish experiments support the model, with ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Groundbreaking research from Karolinska Institutet reveals that humans can grow new neurons well into old age, offering new hope ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

Researchers mapped myelin-making cells in mice, showing some brain regions recover better after myelin damage.

Some brain cells can resist the toxic processes associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Scientists have now identified the "cellular hazmat team" that keeps neurons healthy.

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...
