The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

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

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully grown living brain tissue in a laboratory setting. This advancement not only opens new doors for neuroscience but also raises ...
