A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...
A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...
Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...
Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how our brains differentiate from stem cells during embryonic development and early life. In a Nature collection including five papers published ...
Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...
Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...
