Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...
Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...
Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...
Emily Sylwestrak is in the Department of Biology and at the Institute of Neuroscience, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403, USA. The brain’s vast diversity of cell types has long captivated ...
Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how our brains differentiate from stem cells during embryonic development and early life. In a Nature collection including five papers published ...
