New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during prenatal brain development than scientists previously believed. This ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

BrainXell today announced the launch of its human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived sensory neurons, a scalable human cellular platform engineered to support reproducible functional studies ...

Over the course of her accomplished career in academia and health care, Amy Brooks-Kayal has gone above and beyond to level the playing field in neurology.On Feb. 20, Brooks-Kayal received the 2025 ...

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.

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

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

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement ...

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 ...

This groundbreaking discovery has revealed a systemic metabolic dysfunction that creates a toxic exosome cargo in ALS ...

The study builds on decades of research into dopaminergic neuron development and Parkinson's disease led by the late Prof. Ernest Arenas. His work laid important foundations for understanding how ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that give rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...
