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

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

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

Chloride ions, best known for helping cells maintain fluid balance and electrical stability, may also play a more direct role ...

Pea-sized brain blobs are a chatty bunch. Packed with neurons that spark with electrical activity, brain organoids—or “mini brains”—are a now popular way to study the human brain. Some organoids model ...

Electrical signals from the brain could help identify potential issues in the organ’s development, a new study reports. Researchers hope that their study will enable better tracking of infants’ ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a new class of nonsurgical brain implants that travel through the bloodstream, reach inflamed brain tissue in mice, and deliver wireless stimulation without a single ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development. Their work helps ...

"Complex processes are going on in the brain when we sleep," says Dr Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. According to her, a more precise ...
