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

Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

New neuroscience research reveals how our brains evolve through key life stages, highlighting the hidden strengths of aging. From childhood's rapid learning to the wisdom of older age, each phase ...

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

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

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory postdoc Stan Kerstjens and colleagues have devised a new theory for how the brain organizes ...

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 ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

Research uncovering the origin of pineoblastoma, a rare pediatric brain tumor, has also revealed a dependency across multiple brain tumor types that share a similar molecular program. Scientists at St ...
