Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, a new study in mice showed. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that had ...

Long dismissed as ‘brain glue,’ star-shaped cells called astrocytes are emerging as a breakthrough in treating Alzheimer’s ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new ...

Discovery that astrocyte networks shrink and reroute after a loss of sensory signals suggests they may be shaped by experience.

In a powerful fusion of AI and neuroscience, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and at the Allen Institute have created one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain ...

Concussions are a common injury, responsible for as many as 3 million emergency room visits every year. Children playing ...

A new study has found that high calcium levels in microglia, a specialised group of immune cells in the brain, could be ...

Microscopy image of a human stem cell-derived hippocampal organoid. When the tissue carries an epilepsy-causing variant in the SCN8A gene, inhibitory neurons (seen in red) are disrupted, and ...

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...
