Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

The team identified different brain networks involved in processing scenes with people, inanimate objects, action, and dialogue. They also revealed how different executive networks are prioritized ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...

A team of researchers has created the first 'multiome' atlas of brain cell development in the human cerebral cortex across six broad developmental time points from fetal development into adulthood, ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

Researchers have discovered that parts of the human brain age more slowly than previously thought—particularly in the region that processes touch. By using ultra-high-resolution brain scans, they ...

Clumps of cells known as organoids are helping us to understand the brain, and the latest version comes equipped with ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...
