A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity.

A collaborative French-Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing. Published in the journal Cell, the research shows that these glial cells are ...

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases ...

Many patients with long COVID experience brain fog, but the reasons are not well understood. A new study links brain fog to a ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture.

Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...

Bridging that gap means combining insights from single-cell studies in animals, human brain imaging, and behavior. Now, a new kind of computer model-grounded in real biology-lets researchers simulate ...

A team of scientists at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) has published new evidence suggesting that the brain's protective shield—known as the blood-brain barrier (BBB)—remains ...

With the support of the NINDS Research Program Award, McIntyre will use patient-specific models to better understand how ...

A scan‑to‑print medical model. University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new open-source tool that enables ...
