New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Another piece of the dementia puzzle may finally have been found. In A Nutshell Scientists discovered ultrathin tubes (hundreds of nanometers wide) connecting brain cells that transport proteins and ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Anxiety disorders are some of the most common mental health conditions in America, affecting about one in five people nationwide. But much remains unknown about the roots of anxiety in the brain. Now, ...
