S tructural differences between male and female brains are apparent from the very earliest days of life, according to a new study. The researchers found that even in young babies, female brains have ...

A new technology developed at MIT enables scientists to label proteins across millions of individual cells in fully intact 3D ...

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

A recent study published in the journal Brain has revealed new insights into the neurological underpinnings of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, a common and debilitating complication of Parkinson’s ...

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other.

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is ...

When you think about moving your fingers, neurons (brain cells) in the motor cortex (the brain’s movement control center) ...

The implications of this research could redefine the boundary between life and death, help people on the cusp of death, and ...

A new study has identified a group of neurons that, when activated, can induce a hypometabolic state, akin to hibernation. The discovery could have far-reaching implications for conditions like ...
