Brain tissue is an optical mess. Water, lipids, and tangled cellular membranes all bend light in different directions. If ...

Engineers have found a way to fine-tune tiny artificial neurons to fire like real brain cells.

During childhood and adolescence, our brain goes through a lot of changes. But studying those changes in juvenile mice is challenging because scientists don’t have a way to repeatedly image the same ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Visualization of 75,000 neurons (colored dots) active across the brain of an adult mouse across different stages of a ...

Scientists have made a major advance in developmental neuroscience, creating the very first detailed atlas of how the vascular network of a mouse's brain grows after birth. Their study is published in ...

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...

A novel reversible, noninvasive technique to observe neuron formation and firing in juvenile mice has been developed. During childhood and adolescence, our brain goes through a lot of changes. But ...

The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...
