To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

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

Aging is known to have profound effects on the human brain, prompting changes in the composition of cells and the expression of genes, while also altering aspects of the interaction between genes and ...

Emergent properties and new neuron types We think of attention as a spotlight or zoom in our brain that focuses on something in our visual field and devotes resources to that area, improving how we ...

Understanding the connection between behavior and brain cell activity is a major goal of neuroscience. To make progress, ...

Researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that give rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected in Parkinson’s disease.
