Over decades of research, scientists have built up a partial picture of what specialized cells within the brain and spinal ...

Neuroscientific advances follow a pattern of visualizing the brain, measuring its function and then controlling it.

UCLA researchers show for the first time that human brain assembloids can reproduce the hallmark electrical changes seen ...

The recently released "connectome" joins a previously completed map of an adult female fruit fly’s brain. The digital 3D diagrams allow scientists to trace precise neural paths in the bugs’ brains, wh ...

Sleep drive neurons in mice may help the brain track wakefulness and trigger deeper recovery sleep after long hours awake.

A new study has identified a set of neurons that play a role in generating anxiety after exposure to cannabinoid drugs, ...

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease and neural circuits.

Tuberous sclerosis complex, a leading genetic cause of early-onset epilepsy, is typically resistant to drugs, requiring ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like cerebral palsy. Ethicists ask if it changes how these mice should be treated.

Mouse skull bone marrow contains lymph node-like immune hubs that can respond quickly to brain cancer signals. These ...
