In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do ... could help to explain this functional diversity. The activity of an individual neuron is constrained by the anatomical ...

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive ...

A new study reveals that memory-related brain activity continues to shift even after learning, challenging traditional views ...

The functioning of the brain relies on the establishment of very precise connections between neurons: synapses. A recent ...

Earlier studies mostly focused on neurogenesis—the generation of neurons in the brain—and fast neuron migration all moving in one direction early in the development of an embryo. But ...

the researchers cultivated a miniature 3D model of the brain, a so-called cerebral organoid, and investigated how the neuronal network functions in the organoid. They found that affected neurons ...

In contrast to T1 neuroblasts, T2 neuroblasts generate intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) that expand the number and diversity of cell types. The diversity of T2-derived neurons contributes a ...

present convincing data that injury of the adult Drosophila CNS triggers transdifferentiation of glial cell and even the generation of neurons from glial cells. This observation opens up the ...

Astrocytes, star-shaped cells, play an essential role in supporting neurons and maintaining brain health. While their function in gray matter is well-documented, their diversity in white matter ...

These findings revolutionize our understanding of brain ... neuron formation. They discovered that the genes involved vary across species, indicating convergent evolution rather than homology. A ...
