An intermediary thalamic relay station (incoming neurons in red, outgoing neurons in green). (Kuno et al., Cell Rep., 2026) A ...

Artificial neurons could open a pathway toward computing that resembles human brain power.

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

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 ...

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.

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Two-photon microscopy captures axonal segments in a living brain, enabling researchers to quantify structural changes in specialized areas under noninvasive low-intensity repetitive transcranial ...

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 ...
