Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells—and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson's disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

The image shows an α-synuclein oligomer (blue) partially inserted into a cell membrane (left). Over time, it forms a pore (right) that allows molecules to pass through for a short period. The oligomer ...
