At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential ...

After years of debate, scientists provided new evidence for the lifelong birth of human brain cells, which may inform future ...

Scientists have developed a technique that aligns stem cells into a single sheet, resulting in a marked increase in the secretion of signaling proteins which help repair tissue and regulate the immune ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from ...

“Scientists have been studying the structure and anatomy of the brain — including the morphology of different cell types and how they connect — for over a century. Simultaneously, they’ve ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most detailed wiring diagram of a piece of mammal brain ever constructed ...

Inhibitory cells represent about 15 per cent of the cortical neurons. “We found many more highly specific patterns of inhibition than many, including us, were expecting to find,” Mr Collman said.

Two of the goals of that program are to generate a detailed wiring diagram for the complete mouse brain, and to map long-distance connections between different areas of the human brain.

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...
