The activity of neurons in the mammalian brain is known to contribute to the development of the brain at the early stages of development. While past neuroscientific studies have gathered evidence ...

Mouse and human brains have different functions that depend on their neuronal networks. We analyzed nanometer-scale three-dimensional structures of brain tissues of the mouse medial prefrontal cortex ...

We first asked whether canonical projectome types exist in the hypothalamus, independent of soma location or neuropeptide expression. To this end, we tried to classify reconstructed hypothalamic ...

Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience ...

After more than a decade of studying threadlike connections between neurons in petri dishes, scientists now have evidence they exist in the brain, too. By making mouse brains see-through, Hyung-Bae ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

Alzheimer's disease is driven by a buildup of a toxic protein called Tau that kills neurons. As toxic Tau spreads to new ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists have achieved a feat once believed impossible, constructing the largest functional map of a brain to date, which they ...

Researchers at Niigata University's Brain Research Institute have uncovered a new function of amyloid precursor protein (APP) ...

Researchers discover that Alzheimer's-linked APP protein protects neurons by clearing toxic leaked nuclear waste via ...
