Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Allman was searching for a peculiar kind of brain cell that he suspects is a key to how the African elephant—like a human being—manages to stay attuned to the ever-shifting nuances of social interplay ...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...
