Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers ...

WASHINGTON — Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date, using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, an ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives. Our ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...
