Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an organoid model of the human brain that generates granule cells and Purkinje neurons—two major cell types found in the human ...

The evolution of higher cognitive functions in humans has so far mostly been linked to the expansion of the neocortex. Researchers are increasingly realizing, however, that the 'little brain' or ...

The image shows how the cerebellum (white) send its projections across the brain of a newborn mouse. A wide network of color-coded axons reveals how this tiny structure connects with multiple brain ...

From before birth through childhood, connections form between neurons in the brain, ultimately making us who we are. So far, scientists have gained a relatively good understanding of how neural ...

New research from a team at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) has for the first time shown how inflammation in early childhood can affect brain development and contribute to the ...

Genetic maps of the development of cells in the cerebella of human, mouse and opossum shed light on ancestral and species-specific cellular and molecular characteristics of cerebellum development. The ...
