In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...

Youth with related behavior challenges may have trouble moving between different brain states, according to a new study from ...

Both models feature animals genetically predisposed to absence seizures that consistently and reliably develop absence epilepsy across their lifespan. In both models, the researchers focused their ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

Children who spent a lot of time on screens before the age of two showed changes in brain development that were later linked ...

A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...
