A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

Scientists at the University of Gothenburg have pinpointed a group of nerve cells in the brain stem that appear to be responsible for semaglutide’s appetite- and weight-controlling powers—without ...

Connections between nerve cells in the brain (synapses, labeled green) usually deteriorate in the brains of Alzheimer's mouse ...

In order to understand brain diseases, neuroscientists try to untangle the intricate nerve fibre labyrinth of our brain. Before analysing brain tissue under a microscope, it is often soaked in ...

A popular weight-loss drug may be changing how doctors treat obesity—but scientists are just starting to uncover exactly how it works inside the brain. A group of researchers from the University of ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

Nerve cells in the brain are constantly bombarded with information from different senses simultaneously. How can the brain prioritize what is most important? Imagine a friend meets you at the train ...
