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

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Researchers identify specific psychosocial factors that strongly correlate with altered brain development within the first ...

Generating new memories and remembering are two sides of the same coin, although sometimes they can appear as separate mechanisms. These mechanisms which seem to be distanced from each other are ...

A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

Learning a new task, mastering a musical instrument or being able to adapt to the constantly changing environment are all possible thanks to the brain’s plasticity, or its ability to modify itself by ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an organoid model of the human brain that generates granule cells and Purkinje neurons—two major cell types found in the human ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...
