The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

In a new study, published in Cell, the research team have overcome this problem by identifying the distinct 'electrical signatures' of different neuron types in the mouse brain, using brief pulses of ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

A new class of AAVs has arrived. In six coordinated studies published on 21 May across Neuron, Cell, Cell Reports, and Cell Reports Methods, scientists unveil viral vectors fitted with ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Emergent properties and new neuron types We think of attention as a spotlight or zoom in our brain that focuses on something in our visual field and devotes resources to that area, improving how we ...
