Sharp wave ripples, brain waves important for memory consolidation, are influenced by synaptic inhibition, researchers report.
Researchers converted skin cells from patients with a rare congenital brain defect into pluripotent stem cells to generate brain organoids.
A new study reports clinical grade stem cell lines will enable the development of new therapies and accelerate early stage clinical research.
Researchers report they have successfully transplanted retinal pigment cells derived from stem cells without rejection or the need of immunosuppressant drugs.
Until recently, the production of pluripotent “multipurpose” stem cells from skin cells was considered to be the ultimate new development....
A new study reports martix and stirosome compartments in the striatum do not appear to exchange synaptic information.
Using mini-brains grown in the lab, researchers have discovered schizophrenia likely begins toward the end of the first trimester of fetal development. Researchers believe, based on their findings, schizophrenia could potentially be treated in utero.
Researchers have developed a new technology in order to regenerate functional neurons after brain injury.
Findings suggest a strong genetic factor could predispose people to anorexia and other eating disorders.
A team of researchers used CRISPR, a new gene editing technology, to repair a genetic mutation responsible for retinitis pigmentosa.
A new USC study reports researchers have discovered 150 proteins that affect brain development and cell activity, contributing to the development of mental health disorders.
By turning skin cells of patients with Dravet syndrome into neurons, researchers create a miniature testing ground for epilepsy
