A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

At birth, the brain is far from fully developed. Neural connections are formed at a rapid pace during the first weeks of life, and blood vessels—which supply oxygen and nutrients to nerve cells—follow ...

The primary cilium acts as a specialized protein factory essential for brain development and linked to Filippi syndrome.

Houston Methodist neuroscientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method to rapidly produce synchronized, human brain wave-like activity in lab-grown neural networks that can communicate over long ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

They also zoomed in on a key enzyme called ACLY. Think of it as a middleman that helps convert glucose into a form cells can use to grow and divide. By disrupting this enzyme, researchers could see ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

Understanding why people born blind never develop schizophrenia could transform how we think about and treat one of ...

Since their beginnings, psychiatry, clinical psychology, and psychotherapy have all assumed that psychological and emotional distress has its origins inside isolated individuals: dysfunctional ...
