Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

Recent research published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed cellular map of how physical activity remodels the brain ...

A new study published in the journal Addiction Neuroscience provides evidence that cannabidiol may help prevent the ...

Foods like extra-virgin olive oil, berries and eggs have nutrients to benefit brain health. More brain health-promoting ...

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...

A new treatment for one type of Parkinson's disease may be on the horizon after researchers discovered a "brake" that can halt cell death. The study, led by researchers from Stanford University, ...
