Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

The hippocampus is among the first regions affected in Alzheimer's disease and is also implicated in epilepsy, depression, and other neurological conditions. By revealing the CA1's layered structure, ...

Emergent properties and new neuron types We think of attention as a spotlight or zoom in our brain that focuses on something in our visual field and devotes resources to that area, improving how we ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

A new class of AAVs has arrived. In six coordinated studies published on 21 May across Neuron, Cell, Cell Reports, and Cell Reports Methods, scientists unveil viral vectors fitted with ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...
