Scientists introduce an open-source workflow that simplifies the creation, validation and generalization of detailed neuronal models. Using this solution, researchers could build cell models for a significant portion of the rat cortex.

Researchers have produced an engineered tissue representing a simplified cerebral cortex by 3D printing human stem cells. When implanted into mouse brain slices, the structures became integrated with the host tissue. The technique may ultimately be dev…

Novel brain biometrics could help inform whether an athlete is ready to return to play following a concussion, according to new research.

A significant breakthrough sheds light on the underlying mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease, offering the potential for innovative treatments in the future.

A new study reveals the crucial role of vascular system cells — known as pericytes — in the formation of long-term memories of life events — memories that are lost in diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

People frequently exposed to racial or ethnic discrimination may be more susceptible to obesity and related health risks in part because of a stress response that changes biological processes and how we process food cues, according to new research.

A new study has provided the first clear picture of where language processes are located in the brain. The findings may be useful in clinical trials involving language recovery after brain injury.

Young people who are in higher education in England face a small increased risk of depression and anxiety, compared to their peers who are not attending higher education, finds a new study.

People with a higher cumulative estrogen exposure throughout their life may have a lower risk of cerebral small vessel disease, according to a new study.

In Parkinson’s disease, the cerebral cortex can take over tasks from a deeper part of the brain that has been damaged, where cells that make dopamine have been lost. The strength of compensation by the cerebral cortex determines how many symptoms peopl…
