A recent study has revealed that specific patterns of gene activity serve as a hidden map that guides the complex wiring of ...

Summary: Researchers achieved a major breakthrough by reversing structural brain abnormalities and behavioral deficits ...

Researchers have developed a technique to connect lab-grown neural 'organoids' (three-dimensional developmental brain-like structures grown from human stem cells) using axonal bundles, similar to the ...

The brain is not a random collection of neurons. Across species, evolution has preserved key hierarchical architectural features, including modular organization, characterized by patches of densely ...

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an innate brain developmental disorder that often manifests from early childhood. While ...

RNA granules, sites for the storage, transport, and regulation of RNA molecules within cells, are transported along axons and then translated locally, far from the cell body. Recent studies suggest ...

Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers tracked thousands of neural connections to identify 28 distinct types of dopamine neurons ...
