Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Sanford Burnham Prebys explore genetic factors in separate papers ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and ...

Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level of physical activity. Astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus region of the ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group provides measurable evidence that it can reshape how brain networks function.

The brain’s cerebellum plays a key role in coordinating movement, balance, and cognition. Injury to the cerebellum can have a profound impact on basic motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and ...

Hyderabad, have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 (Canopy1), that is essential for the survival and function of ...
