The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human ...

In A Nutshell Lab-grown human brain cells spontaneously organize into precise firing sequences without any sensory experience ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a ...

A study identifies four key turning points in the development of neural connections throughout life, a finding that may help ...

According to the researchers: Childhood brain topology reaches a turning point at age 9, transitioning to the adolescent ...

For decades, scientists believed the human brain stopped producing new neurons after childhood. This long-held view painted the adult brain as a fixed organ, incapable of generating fresh cells in the ...

A computer model developed by researchers from Japan and Seattle's Allen Institute could lead to new methods for studying ...

Zap-and-freeze imaging captures real-time synaptic vesicle cycling in human brain tissue, offering new clues to Parkinson’s ...

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

The last turning point comes around age 83. The data for this final era is more limited, but the defining feature is a shift ...

Phase one –the “childhood phase” — lasts until age nine, per the study. During this window, the brain’s wealth of synapses – ...
