Dr. Gan's team used CRISPR technology to modify the genomes of human stem cells, prompting them to express forms of tau associated with diseased aging brains. "This model has been a game-changer ...

Northwestern researchers have made notable scientific advancements in the past week. The Daily compiled a recap of their ...

A team of researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) developed a computational method that improves the tracking of neurogenesis as neurons ...

However, they can’t replicate the complexity of real human neuron development on their own, Science News reports. In a bid to further organoid development, scientists transplanted human cerebral ...

This graphical abstract shows how human cortical neurons exhibit a higher degree of voltage compartmentalization compared to rodent counterparts due to lower ion channel densities across larger ...

Environmental factors like stress and medication exposure during pregnancy can shape brain development, but the mechanisms ...

Studies on humans have generally been less definitive than those done on animals because it is substantially more difficult to record the activity of a single neuron in human brains. However ...

Neuroscience examines the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. Neuroscientists use cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition ...

One gene, GSK3β, weakens neuron defenses against oxidative stress ... “An approach like this will help identify pathway activities in human disease models that directly reflect changes observed in ...

A team led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) developed a computational method to improve techniques to track brain cell development over time.
