Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.

Neuropsychiatric disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent. Given their complex and multifactorial pathogenesis, there is an urgent need for effective and targeted therapies that can improve ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian ...

Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

A new study found that the leading environmental factor influencing brain structure and function is the socioeconomic status ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Combining microscopy, scanning, and deep learning enables more precise imaging of functional dynamics in neural networks of human cortical organoids.

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. Fig. 3: Ddx3x regulates the formation and development of dendritic spines. The alternative text for this image may have been ...

The functional complexity and anatomical organization of the nervous system are established during regional patterning of its embryonic precursor—the neural tube. Human pluripotent stem (hPS) ...

The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...
