New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Humans are social beings, and it shouldn’t be surprising that there are specific groups of nerve cells in the brain that are directly influenced by social experiences. One important mechanism ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

New connections begin to form between brain cells almost immediately as animals learn a new task, according to a study published this week in Nature. Led by researchers at the University of California ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

It’s no secret exercise is good for your body—but what about your brain? Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Neurobiology and vice chair for Faculty Affairs and Development ...
