A new mouse study suggests the brain may have no fixed information ceiling, as adding more neurons continues to improve processing precision.

Mouse skull bone marrow contains lymph node-like immune hubs that can respond quickly to brain cancer signals. These ...

There is no treatment available today to stop the death of brain cells in neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies, ...

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease and neural circuits.

Researchers at SUNY Upstate Medical University have resolved a long-standing neurobiology puzzle: how the central nervous system gauges axon diameter to control myelin sheath length. The study reveals ...

Lab-grown organoids wire into mice missing a key part of their brain, offering a new way to test drugs for developmental conditions. Human brain tissue transplanted into mice that lack a key part of ...

The recently released "connectome" joins a previously completed map of an adult female fruit fly’s brain. The digital 3D diagrams allow scientists to trace precise neural paths in the bugs’ brains, wh ...

Blocking CXCR3 on immune T cells preserved 40% more memory tissue in Alzheimer’s mice without needing to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like cerebral palsy. Ethicists ask if it changes how these mice should be treated.
