Access to omics data has furthered our understanding of neurobiology, including the mechanics of early brain development and neurodegenerative conditions. Scientists have made good progress in ...

Protocadherins, a subfamily within the cadherin superfamily, are fundamental to the precise organisation of neural circuits. They contribute to cell adhesion mechanisms that underlie synaptic ...

Abstract: Neural tissue requires a great metabolic demand despite negligible intrinsic energy stores. As a result, the central nervous system (CNS) depends upon a continuous influx of metabolic ...

Inside every human brain lies a detailed map of the body, with different regions dedicated to different body parts – the hands, lips, feet and more. But what happens to this map when a body part is ...

Researchers have developed the first metal–organic framework (MOF) neuron that mimics brain-like behavior in aqueous ...

Brain plasticity — also called neuroplasticity — is an odd term for most people, with the word “plastic” causing images of Tupperware or Saran Wrap to pop into your head. However, brain plasticity is ...
