Scientists provide promising new evidence that the ‘planar cell polarity,’ a powerful signaling pathway, is a widely used mechanism for the formation and maintenance of a large number of synapses.

In 2013, the U.S. government began investing $100 million to decipher human brain anatomy in a large collaborative project called the BRAIN Initiative. Researchers built tools and set standards for describing all the cells in the brain. On October 7, 2…

Researchers have found that variability between brain cells might speed up learning and improve the performance of the brain and future AI.

A mouse study reveals new insights into the wiring of a major circuit in the brain that is attacked by Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease. The findings could hone scientists’ understanding of how these disorders arise in the human brain and pinpoint …

While researchers have discovered numerous cell types in the brain, this atlas of all cell types in one area — the primary motor cortex — is the first comprehensive list and a starting point for tracing cellular networks to understand how they contro…

It takes billions of cells to make a human brain, and scientists have long struggled to map this complex network of neurons. Now, dozens of research teams around the country have made inroads into creating an atlas of the mouse brain as a first step to…

Researchers further refine the organization of cells within key regions of the mouse brain and the organization of transcriptomic, epigenomic and regulatory factors that provide these brain cells with function and purpose.

Researchers have discovered a brain mechanism that enables mice to override their instincts based on previous experience.

New research has shown that ketone supplements may be a novel therapeutic strategy for protecting and improving brain health in people with obesity.

A new study reveals differences in brain structure between antisocial and non-antisocial members of the same families which could explain why some show violent behavior whilst others do not.
