Protocadherins, a subfamily within the cadherin superfamily, are fundamental to the precise organisation of neural circuits. They contribute to cell adhesion mechanisms that underlie synaptic ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry.

An international group of neuroscientists joined forces to produce a landmark neural map, which revealed that decision-making lights up the entire brain.

Data from a new study elucidates the role of a transcriptional enhancer dubbed HAR123 in neural cell development and cognitive flexibility.

The implant reliably captured neural activity throughout development on millisecond scales across multiple brain regions. The cyborg tadpoles grew into healthy frogs, which acted normally in ...

Not only are there ethical concerns when using animals for lab testing, but animal models can’t fully recapitulate the complexities of human biology. Rodents are a popular test subject, but rodent ...

Artificial intelligence is now part of our daily lives, with the subsequent pressing need for larger, more complex models.

Researchers have developed a wireless, implantable neural interface that can deliver drugs directly to deep brain regions ...
