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 ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory postdoc Stan Kerstjens and colleagues have devised a new theory for how the brain organizes ...

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

LA JOLLA (May 11, 2023)—Situated at the intersection of the human immune system and the brain are microglia, specialized brain immune cells that play a crucial role in development and disease.

This video lets you peek inside the human brain, highlighting the neuronal fibers that enable communication across the brain. This communication is vital to all brain functions, including learning, ...
