Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals...

Your brain contains a complex network of nerve cells, called neurons, that send signals to the rest of your body. These signals allow you to sense the...

The reality is that all humans will grow old and this process cannot be reversed. So humans have long tried to slow down the aging process by creating...

New research reveals how Parkinson's spreads from the gut to the brain, with the help of immune cells – offering a new potential therapeutic...

A tiny version of a developing cerebral cortex – a brain region involved in thinking, memory and problem-solving – has been grown in a lab dish,...
