We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that targeting neuronal signaling controlling aberrant learning in the ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...
