A new study reveals how AI-driven deep learning models can decode the genetic regulatory switches that define brain cell ...

In their study published in Nature Communications, researchers identified an unusual type of brain cell they named “ovoid ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

In a study published today in Nature Communications, the researchers have discovered a new type of brain cell that plays a central role in our ability to remember and recognize objects.

Like the periodic table of elements, which has enabled generations of scientists to predict the existence of yet-undiscovered elements and the behavior of those already known, the brain-cell ...

Bar. Date. Martini. Olive. Bank. Deep in your brain, neurons known as concept cells are firing. You might have concept cells that fire for martinis but not for olives. Or ones that fire for bars — ...

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered ...
