A new study investigates how neurons get their branching shapes.
John Hopkins researchers have uncovered new details that may explain, on a molecular level, how ECT relieves severe depression in mammals.
Genetic mutations in Usp9X results in the brain growing fewer synapses during development. The mutation also causes hyperactivity and an increased risk of anxiety. The findings shed new light on the cause of autism and other intellectual disabilities.
A new study reveals a previously unknown mechanism which establishes polarity in developing neurons. The findings could help to develop new therapies for spinal injuries and neurodegenerative diseases.
A new study explores the role microtubles play in neurodevelopment.
A Nature Communications study reveals the activity of dendrites increase as we sleep. This increased activity could be key to how we are able to form memories.
Researchers have identified a mechanism within the cholinergic system that underlies our ability to rapidly focus attention.
Researchers examine if the size of synapses alters during sleep and wake states.
Researchers have developed a new theory that outlines how the brain separates relevant from irrelevant information.
Using adult human skin cells, researchers have developed an almost complete human brain in a dish that is equal in maturity to that of a 5 week old fetus.
A new study reveals psychedelic substances may have a neuroprotective role when it comes to inflammation. Researchers also report psychedelics can alter signaling pathways associated with neuroplasticity.
A new study reports human neural stem cells show promise for reversing cognitive impairments following chemotherapy.
