Understanding and treating brain disorders such as tremor, imbalance, and speech impairments requires deep knowledge of the ...

In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final ...

New research reveals that neurons can switch their migration strategy depending on whether they move on flat surfaces or through tight, crowded spaces.

How neurons become organized in 3D during development is a critical unanswered question. We have two main projects. In one we are identifying the signals that regulate scaling of the numbers of ...

Chris De Zeeuw at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and colleagues were tracking the activity within cerebellar neurons when they discovered that the cerebellum was critically involved in the ...

A study by Kindai University researchers shows that neurons adapt their migration strategies based on environmental conditions. Using PIEZO1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, neurons can adjust their ...

Neurons and their branch extensions known as dendrites are featured within a mouse’s cerebral cortex. Must be used in conjunction with Science paper on brain plasticity rules.

A53T mutation and differentiated them into cerebral cortical neurons in an attempt to decipher the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in neurodegeneration to develop new therapies for the ...

By studying the skilled movements of marmoset tongues, researchers have discovered that Purkinje cells (P-cells) in a brain ...

Infomorphic neurons, developed by researchers, are designed to learn independently and self-organize within artificial neural networks. Inspired by biological neurons, they process input signals in ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...
