New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

“By the time we examine an autopsied brain-tissue sample, a pathologist will have rinsed it with alcohol, removing lipids,” said Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, the D. H. Chen Professor II, a professor of ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Disrupting left superior frontal sulcus selectively impaired perceptual but not value-based decisions, revealing segregated ...

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...
