Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

Emergent properties and new neuron types We think of attention as a spotlight or zoom in our brain that focuses on something in our visual field and devotes resources to that area, improving how we ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

In a new study, published in Cell, the research team have overcome this problem by identifying the distinct 'electrical signatures' of different neuron types in the mouse brain, using brief pulses of ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...
