Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved a significant breakthrough by employing scatterometry, a technique ...

When a laboratory rat learns how to reach for and grab a food pellet – a pretty complex and unnatural act for a rodent – the acquired knowledge significantly alters the structure of the specific brain ...

Synapses of the mammalian CNS are highly complex structures composed of thousands of distinct proteins. Synaptic proteins are often expressed in variable patterns across different brain regions and ...

Super-resolution microscopes have revealed a whole new type of connection between neurons in mouse and human brains. In the ...

This finding corroborates the 'radial unit hypothesis', with the mechanism at play being lineage-dependent repulsion between sister neurons. The researchers first looked at the evolution of neuron ...

What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific achievement once deemed impossible. A global team of researchers has unveiled the most intricate ...
