Scientists uncovered mercury in mongoose brains, indicating a broader environmental threat and raising concerns about human exposure to mercury. Exposure to mercury (Hg) is extremely…
Discovery could be useful in developing new therapies for multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative conditions, and brain cancer. New research from Oregon Health & Science University for…
A new neural implant revolutionizes brain activity monitoring, combining surface and deep brain data acquisition in a minimally invasive manner. Scientists at the University of…
Recent research suggests that a number of neuronal characteristics, traditionally believed to stem from the cell body or soma, may actually originate from processes in…
Synthetic serum marker enables non-invasive neural monitoring. The brain, being the most protected organ in the body, is encased within a highly complex and nearly…
Scientists have developed 3D mini-organs from human fetal brain tissue that self-organize in vitro. These lab-grown organoids open up a brand-new way of studying how…
A prosthetic device deciphers signals from the brain’s speech center to predict what sound a person is trying to say. A team of neuroscientists, neurosurgeons,…
A new study finds that microglia with mutant TREM2 protein reduce brain circuit connections, promote inflammation, and contribute to Alzheimer’s pathology in other ways. A…
In new research, Boston University neuroscientist Dr. Steve Ramirez and collaborators examine the dynamic nature of fear responses in varied environments and their impacts. In…
Whether in the brain or in the muscles, synapses are present wherever nerve cells exist. Synapses, the connections between neurons, are fundamental to the process…
High-resolution atlas charts neural neighborhoods for more than 5,300 cell types. Six years and 32 million cells later, scientists have created the first full cellular…
