Protocadherins, a subfamily within the cadherin superfamily, are fundamental to the precise organisation of neural circuits. They contribute to cell adhesion mechanisms that underlie synaptic ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is estimated to be experienced by roughly 1 in 127 ...

Every day, our brain takes countless fleeting experiences - from walks on the beach to presentations at work - and transforms them into long-term memories. How exactly this works remains a mystery, ...

Stem cell therapy reversed stroke damage in mice, regenerating neurons and restoring movement. The findings bring scientists ...

Apple has recently secured a patent for a neural interface technology that promises to revolutionize how users interact with ...
