Closely related dopamine-releasing neurons in the olfactory bulb behave in fundamentally different ways depending on their physical structure.

Neuroscientists examining a brain cell typically have to choose between studying its internal molecular activity or detailing its connections and electrical activation in the brain. But in his lab at ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...
