By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before synapses, the ...

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and Nagoya University developed a fluorescent probe that can quickly show ...

New connections begin to form between brain cells almost immediately as animals learn a new task, according to a study published this week in Nature. Led by researchers at the University of California ...

Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for learning and memory. Results of the study, published in the journal Science ...

In a collaborative study termed the MICrONS Consortium, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlaid their ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Varun Venkataramani is the winner of the 2025 Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators. A neurologist and group leader at Heidelberg University Hospital, Germany, his work in cancer ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...
