A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

Scientists are unraveling the role of senescent cells in a common form of epilepsy, and it could point to new treatments.

In the first study of its kind, neuroscientists have shown the real-world benefits that sunlight gives the brain, beyond ...

Some people are immune to dementia, even if their brain is deteriorating. Cognitive reserve is the secret boost that builds ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

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