A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

The human brain is known to contain a wide range of cell types, which have different roles and functions. The processes via which cells in the brain, particularly its outermost layer (i.e., the ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

A study published in Nature Neuroscience explores how prenatal stress can influence neurodevelopmental outcomes in foetuses.

The discovery could pave the way for new treatments, improved risk prediction, and earlier intervention for brain metastases.

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...
