Scientists have created a super-map of the brain containing 30 million cells to trace the prenatal origins of diseases.

Fossilized human footprints in the Arabian Peninsula are forcing researchers to redraw the map of our species’ early journeys. Imprinted in what was once a lakeshore and is now desert, these tracks ...

Organoids have helped create a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development. This work provides new insights ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

The image shows how the cerebellum (white) send its projections across the brain of a newborn mouse. A wide network of color-coded axons reveals how this tiny structure connects with multiple brain ...
