New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Japanese scientists have created miniature human brain circuits by joining lab-grown thalamus and cortex models from stem ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Miami neuroscience research duo discovered how to restore electrical activity in brain cells linked to autism spectrum disorder ...

Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...

In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst ...
