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

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 ...

Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, found in children with a rare form of early dementia, disrupts a tiny loop ...

How do wounded soldiers power through to achieve feats of heroism? Understanding how the brain works is a key to avoid losing wars.

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes ...

Read how the human brain-arguably the most complex physical structure in the known universe-reflects the same archetypal ...

Cell death triggered by GPX4 loss was slowed in cell cultures and in mouse model using compounds that specifically inhibit ferroptosis.

HAMBURG — A healthy mind lives in a healthy body — the connection is so obvious that it became a saying centuries ago. But for a long time, researchers were unsure about cause and effect. "The ...

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