Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks. Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...
