The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people, according to a new study led by Linköping University in Sweden. Knowledge of ...

"Most people studying CRISPR have focused on dividing cells, but it turns out the rules of genome editing are different in nondividing cells like neurons," says Gokul Ramadoss, a Ph.D. candidate in ...

There are many kinds of dopamine neurons located in the uppermost region of the brainstem that manufacture and release dopamine throughout the brain. Recently published research reports a relationship ...

University of New Mexico researchers found that the immune enzyme OTULIN drives tau production, brain inflammation and aging.

A new study in Nature Communications could influence how gene therapies are designed for many genetic diseases. Pictured: Gokul Ramadoss, the first author, is a PhD candidate in Bruce Conklin's lab at ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
