Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Scientists have identified a previously unseen layered organization inside one of the brain’s most important memory hubs.

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

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

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

A new study published in Nature offers the most detailed map to date of how individual cell types in the brain change with age. Scientists analyzed over 1.2 million brain cells from young and aged ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

What am I looking at? These images are a series of 1-millimeter-thick slices from front to back through the brain of a mouse, with ChAT neurons (1) in purple and pyramidal neurons (2) in green. The ...

Ripples maintain time-locked occurrence across the septo-temporal axis and hemispheres while showing local phase coupling, revealing a dual mode of synchrony in CA1 network dynamics.
