Every week, Harvard Medical School neuro-oncologist Annie Hsieh treats patients with gliomas—the most common type of brain cancer, including the deadliest, glioblastoma. After Hsieh's neurosurgeon ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

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 ...

New neural network tools automate cell alignment and labeling in microscopy, achieving near-human accuracy and dramatically ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the processing of sensory information, the encoding of memories, attention ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

Researchers in Australia study effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation in mouse models of debilitating illness. 2-photon microscopy captures axonal segments in a living brain. Click for info.
