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

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 ...

This important study offers a molecular characterization of neurons and glia in the adult nervous system of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The study focuses on the progeny of a specific set of ...

While most of the brain’s neurons are thought to be created before birth, an explosion in neural connections, the myelination of axons, and other developments boost its total volume. Research ...
