How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It explores how physical components, such as neurons and their connections, give rise ...

Healing from any injury involves a delicate balance between scarring and inflammation—two processes that can wreak havoc as ...

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 ...

A collaborative French–Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing.

For decades, diagnosis of brain cancer has been medicine’s most difficult and hazardous challenge. Simple imaging such as MRI ...

To uncover this mechanism that may unfold only in the human brain, the researchers developed an organoid — a miniature 3D structure, grown from stem cells, that mimics a full-size structure found in ...

Anatomy explorers have charted a new path myeloid cells use to access the brain. On 3 June in Neuron, scientists led by Lindsay Hohsfield and Kim Green, both at the University of California, Irvine, ...

A new study shows that prenatal disruption of the endocannabinoid system can have long-lasting effects on brain structure and ...

Research reveals structural brain differences in action gamers, with greater cortical thickness and connectivity in regions vital for visuospatial processing.
