After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

By combining pioneering methods in biosciences and biocomputing, we're gaining new ground in the fight to end Alzheimer's ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

Human brain organoid models recreate how glioblastoma interacts with brain and immune cells, revealing hidden signaling that ...

Scientists from the Allen Institute have developed what they claim is a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence-powered database and research tool for neuroscientists. The so-called Brain Knowledge ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

A collaborative effort is trying to construct the cell atlas of the developing brains of humans and animal models. Using advanced single-cell and spatial technologies, they mapped how brain cell types ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

Pea-sized (~3mm) brain organoids developed in the lab give scientists a better understanding of specific neural firing signals in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Such psychiatric conditions affect ...

Microscopy image of a human stem cell-derived hippocampal organoid. When the tissue carries an epilepsy-causing variant in the SCN8A gene, inhibitory neurons (seen in red) are disrupted, and ...
