Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...

A next-generation silicon brain probe called Neuropixels Ultra more than doubles the number of individual neurons scientists can detect in a single recording session, according to a study published in ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see -- but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers ...

New research on the mouse brain uncovers a finely layered architecture within the hippocampus, resembling what has been observed in human brains, providing a blueprint for understanding memory and ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

The hippocampus is among the first regions affected in Alzheimer's disease and is also implicated in epilepsy, depression, and other neurological conditions. By revealing the CA1's layered structure, ...
