In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

Miraculously, our brain is able to recall images of things we had seen in the past in a way that still feels real. A study led by Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University, published in the journal ...

Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.

Soft electrodes designed to perfectly match a person's brain surface may help advance neural interfaces for neurodegenerative ...

A recent study identified beta frequency neural activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of the brain's frontal lobe as the key neural signature underlying processes associated with recognizing ...

“I just can’t make it tonight. You have fun without me.” Across much of the animal kingdom, when infection strikes, social contact shuts down. A study headed by researchers at The Picower Institute ...
