A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Brain organoids can be a good step forward, assuming they are grown from induced human pluripotent stem cells. That allows us to sidestep ethical concerns about the use of human embryos, thereby ...

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 ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking ...

Myelin loss disrupts the coordination of signals between brain regions, impairing the accurate processing of information, researchers found.

Anxiety disorders are some of the most common mental health conditions in America, affecting about one in five people nationwide. But much remains unknown about the roots of anxiety in the brain. Now, ...

The CEMIP enzyme inhibits the growth of oligodendrocytes and may serve as a therapeutic target to boost myelin repair in MS, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — It was long thought that fat in the brain played no role in neurodegenerative diseases, but Purdue University researchers are challenging that assumption. The research findings, ...
