A decades-old challenge in neuroscience has been solved by harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the electrical signatures of different types of brain cells for the first time, as ...

This now provides researchers a powerful and complete cell-by-cell, gene-by-gene view inside the brain of an animal. Why does this matter? Although glial cells comprise half the number and volume of ...

Findings from this groundbreaking study provide unprecedented insights into the interplay of different brain cell types in Tourette syndrome, suggesting new therapeutic directions.

This color-coded graphic shows different populations of cells in the mouse brain, each one targeted by one of the genetic tools developed by scientists at the Allen Institute and other ...

The brain is like an ecosystem—thousands of different types of cells connect to form one big, interdependent web. And just as biologists document species of plants and animals, neuroscientists ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue. In a landmark achievement ...

Broken connections between brain cells play a critical role in multiple neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson's disease. Scientists have now come up with a novel way of repairing our ...

What is the role of mitochondria in brain health? Is there a link between mitochondria and memory? Elizabeth Jonas: Mitochondria do all kinds of things in the healthy brain. To get to synapses — the ...
