Different populations of cells in the mouse brain, each one targeted with high specificity by one of the many new genetic tools developed at the Allen Institute. The brain is like an ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

In a new study, published in Cell, the research team have overcome this problem by identifying the distinct 'electrical signatures' of different neuron types in the mouse brain, using brief pulses of ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

The brain is like an ecosystem—thousands of different types of cells connect to form one big, interdependent web. And just as biologists document species of plants and animals, neuroscientists have ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

This color-coded graphic shows different populations of cells in the mouse brain, each one targeted by one of the genetic tools developed by scientists at the Allen Institute and other institutions.

IDH-mutant glioma, caused by abnormalities in a specific gene (IDH), is the most common malignant brain tumor among young ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

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