Scientists used advanced cryo-EM imaging to reveal how glutamate activates brain receptors, paving the way for new ...

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists show that neurons are capable of changing from one type to ...

Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, ...

Cortical Labs would like to sell you a brain in a box. It’ll cost about $35,000, and you can teach it to do all kinds of nifty things. If that’s out of your price range, you can sign up for its ...

Mapping the density, molecular features and energy-transformation capacity of cell organelles called mitochondria in the brain reveals region- and cell-type-specific variability that tracks with ...

The results show that mitochondria, which generate the energy that powers cells, differ in type and ... the units that make up standard 3D images of the brain. “The most challenging part was ...

Scientists have identified a never-before-seen type of cell that may help to heal brain damage — at least in mice. The ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

Although neural cell competition is widely recognized for its role during early brain development, Prof. Wu's team demonstrated that this process continues to be vital throughout life. They ...
