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

The secret behind NeuO (neuronal selective fluorescent probe), which accurately identifies and fluorescently stains neurons only, has finally been unveiled. A research team led by Professor Young-Tae ...

Study reveals how proteins direct nerve cell precursors to turn into specialized neurons. Brain development is a highly orchestrated process involving numerous parallel and sequential steps. Many of ...

The secret behind 'NeuO (Neuronal selective fluorescent probe)', which accurately identifies and fluorescently stains only 'neurons', has finally been unveiled. A research team led by Professor ...

Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume—a breakthrough ...

To adapt to perceived changes in our environment, the brain constantly updates the activity of neural circuits in the prefrontal cortex, a region involved in attention, anticipation, and ...

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

BIN1, a late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) genetic risk factor, is involved in many cellular phenomena, including vesicular trafficking and tau production. Now, in the August 26 Cell Reports, ...
