In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have created the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement. A ...

Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

Two companion studies, published in Cell Genomics, reveal how brain development lays the foundation for both shared and sex-specific circuits, redefining how neural diversity arises.

New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that give rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Cortical Labs is building two data centres that will house its neuron-filled chips. The technology is still in the very early stages of development ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...
