Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...
Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...
When we think about cognitive development, we naturally think first about children growing up. Of course, the neurodevelopment of a child – particularly your own child – is fascinating, it’s a ...
Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...
The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...
When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...
The field of neuroplasticity is increasingly exploring the non-neuronal components that shape synaptic, cellular, and circuit-level adaptation in the brain.
Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral ...
