How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...
Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.
Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...
A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...
A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature’s simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.
Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...
In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several minutes. A new MIT study that focuses on a ...
