Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...

New research from UAB reveals how tau seeds spread through connected neurons in Alzheimer’s disease. Findings show that ...

A new technique tags neurons with RNA barcodes to identify synaptic connections through sequencing. It allows rapid mapping ...

Summary: For decades, scientists have known that the protein tau acts like a wildfire in the brain, leaping from region to ...

How does the brain link memory to motivation? A new study reveals that dorsal and ventral hippocampal pathways converge on the same neurons to drive reward-seeking behavior.

The mammalian brain consists of diverse neuron types with different functions. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing approaches led to a whole brain taxonomy of transcriptomically-defined cell types.

The incidence of breast cancer in women has increased significantly over the past few decades, but advancements in targeted therapies have led to a decrease in death rates. Although systemic ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Brain tumors do not just invade healthy tissue. They also physically squeeze it, and that mechanical compression may be enough to trigger neuron death in the surrounding brain. Two peer-reviewed ...

As I enter deep middle age, parenting two teenagers, I find reading about brain development more interesting. The old-school view of becoming an adult at 18 (or 21) seems simple. The more recent ...
