Protocadherins, a subfamily within the cadherin superfamily, are fundamental to the precise organisation of neural circuits. They contribute to cell adhesion mechanisms that underlie synaptic ...
Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...
Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an organoid model of the human brain that generates granule cells and Purkinje neurons—two major cell types found in the human ...
Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have made a breakthrough in amphibian neurobiology. By using adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), the research provides new insights ...
Bioengineers at SEAS have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a tadpole embryo’s neural plate, the early-stage, flat structure that folds to become the ...
Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the ...
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 ...
Developmental dyslexia is one of the most widespread learning disabilities. Different therapeutic approaches and learning strategies are used to tackle the reading and writing difficulties associated ...
Chinese scientists have devised "NeuroWorm", an intelligent microfiber capable of navigating freely within the body, demonstrated through lab tests on mice, providing insights for brain-machine ...
