The brain's ability to track orientation and position is essential for memory, navigation, and decision-making. Traditionally ...

Researchers are transforming stem cells into mini-brains that learn and adapt, merging biology and technology for a more ...

Chanda's team used human neurons derived from stem cells to develop a model of the brain that could rigorously test these relationships. Using a gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9, they were ...

Neuroscientists have identified that the receptor IL-1R1 plays a critical role in enabling neurons to directly communicate with the immune system. The new study provides the most detailed mapping of ...

The inner plexiform layer is where three types of neurons connect, including retinal ganglion cells. Long projections of these cells, called axons, form the optic nerve, which connects to the ...

These axons extend over distances long and short to reach their target, ultimately connecting neurons with other nerve tissue, muscle tissue, or sensory organs (Figure 1A). For example ...

Exercise not only benefits physical health but also stimulates neuronal growth, paving the way for innovative nerve repair ...

Researchers identify distinct neuronal populations within the dorsal HPC that respond to certain nutrients and influence obesity.

A research team identified the brain's food-specific memory system and its direct role in overeating and diet-induced obesity. They found a specific population of neurons in the mouse brain that ...

They developed the innovative RAMPANT method (Rabies Afferent Mapping by Poly-A Nuclear Transcriptomics) to identify neurons connected to AgRP cells in the Arc of the hypothalamus. Furthermore ...
