The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron ...

A study has shown how aspects of brain function change with age, revealing that excitatory processes in the brain decrease, while inhibitory processes increase as children get older. The findings are ...

New research shows how CCN1, a protein secreted by astrocytes, is critical for stabilizing neural circuits in adulthood.

CCN1 is a key factor for stabilizing brain circuits in adulthood, offering a therapeutic target for conditions, such as Alzheimer's and PTSD.

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 ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new method for selectively and reversibly breaking connections between brain cells — a leap forward that could transform how we study the brain processes and, one ...

Young minds are easily molded. Each new experience rewires a child's brain circuitry, adding and removing synaptic ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...
