In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as ...

Scientists have made a major advance in developmental neuroscience, creating the very first detailed atlas of how the vascular network of a mouse's brain grows after birth. Their study is published in ...

The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days.

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...

Both models feature animals genetically predisposed to absence seizures that consistently and reliably develop absence epilepsy across their lifespan. In both models, the researchers focused their ...

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.
