Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis across adulthood, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease. They found that chromatin ...

Study argues to move beyond ‘reading genes’ — focus on conserved neural-development networks in humans to improve early screening and identify therapeutic leads.

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement ...

Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Beyond its bright red seeds, pomegranate harbors fibre-bound “hidden” polyphenols that amplify its ...
