The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian ...

The neural tube is an embryonic transitory structure that serves as the primordium of the entire vertebrate CNS. Although the neural tube is continuous, its anterior and posterior parts differ in the ...

Tracking neural activities throughout brain development is critical to understanding how neurons self-assemble into an organ capable of learning, behaviour and cognition 1. However, achieving ...

When we’re young, our brains retain neuroplasticity as they grow and adapt, a useful attribute that slowly degrades as we age ...

Brain recordings from newborns reveal the first neural evidence that humans are born with an innate sense of numbers ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

How does our brain, which is capable of generating complex thoughts, actions and even self-reflection, grow out of essentially nothing? An experiment in tadpoles, in which an electronic implant was ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

A recent study published in the journal Cell provides evidence that the human brain uses a shared organizational map, or ...

Anyone who speaks more than one language knows the feeling of expressing the same thought through entirely different ...

The physical maturation of a child’s brain can predict their subsequent emotional coping strategies, revealing fresh ways ...
