Researchers found a rare, strictly binary brain feature in mice that is permanently active in females but completely dormant ...

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

Neuroscientists are closing in on a long elusive goal: pinpointing the exact brain cells that make anxiety surge or suddenly recede. In a series of experiments in mice, researchers have identified ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional light-based systems can map the cortex in detail but struggle to reach deeper ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

Stationed within the meninges, squads of immune cells lie in wait, ready to unleash an inflammatory assault within the brain if needed. Holding these trigger-happy troops back during peacetime falls ...
