Some people seem to pick up new skills the way a sponge soaks up water, while others grind through repetition with only ...
A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...
By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.
We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...
Researchers have investigated how highly organized patterns of neural activity emerge during development. Published in Nature Communications, an international collaboration between researchers at the ...
Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells, or OPCs (the purple and green blobs above), prune unneeded synapses (the silver streaks) in the brain’s visual cortex in response to new information and experiences.
Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...
