Researchers found a rare, strictly binary brain feature in mice that is permanently active in females but completely dormant ...

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

Neuroscientists are closing in on a long elusive goal: pinpointing the exact brain cells that make anxiety surge or suddenly recede. In a series of experiments in mice, researchers have identified ...

Nerve cells in the brain are constantly bombarded with information from different senses simultaneously. How can the brain prioritize what is most important?

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional light-based systems can map the cortex in detail but struggle to reach deeper ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...
