How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

A team of researchers has created a 3D atlas of developing mice brains, providing a more dynamic understanding of how the mammalian brain develops. This atlas provides a common reference and ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

HERSHEY, Pa. — A 3D atlas of developing mice brains using advanced imaging and microscopy techniques has been created by a team of researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and collaborators from ...

Brain-imaging data collected from fetuses and infants has revealed a rapid surge in functional connectivity between brain regions on a global scale at birth, possibly reflecting neural processes that ...

Explore the latest findings in autism research that highlight the importance of brain tissue for understanding neurodevelopmental conditions.

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...

Scientists discover that sickle cell disease forces the brain to recruit extra "attention backup" to maintain normal cognitive function.
