A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing ...

The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a ...

A large study of brain scans shows that our neural wiring evolves through five major stages from birth to late old age. These ...

Did you know that the ADHD brain may have a thinner cerebral cortex than the non-ADHD brain? The cerebral cortex is the thin tissue that covers the cerebrum. It's the cerebrum's outer layer. It's ...
