A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

Your brain can grow new cells—and one molecule makes it possible. Learn how movement, food, and mindset can boost BDNF to ...

For decades, scientists believed the human brain stopped producing new neurons after childhood. This long-held view painted the adult brain as a fixed organ, incapable of generating fresh cells in the ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising sugar-related mechanism inside brain cells that could transform how we fight Alzheimer’s and other dementias. It turns out neurons don’t just store sugar for ...

Neurodegenerative diseases remain some of the most difficult conditions to treat. Disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s gradually destroy brain cells, leaving people with worsening memory, ...

We've all experienced defeat at some point – losing a game, a potential new job, a debate. Now, a new study has found that the brain may learn from losing to others, with a specific group of neurons ...

The most common type of brain tumor in children, pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), accounts for about 15% of all pediatric brain tumors. Although this type of tumor is usually not life-threatening, the ...
