A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.

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 ...

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

On the computer screens, the mouse brain is shown from several angles. Then you click, and a small area of the brain is ...

Researchers found that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, via the UPF2 protein, is crucial for neuronal migration and cortical ...

When teenagers shift their sleep schedules between school days and weekends, the resulting mismatch can alter the physical ...

Professor of Pathology, Lee J. Martin, discusses the prevalence and treatment challenges associated with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) ...

Gum disease affects the cortical structure of the brain, including the surficial area and cortical thickness, suggesting a connection and emphasizing the periodontal tissue-brain axis, according to a ...
