Research study explores how genetic changes shaped the variety seen across primates — from brain development and body size to diet, vision, movement and survival in extreme environments.

Researchers identified a direct connection between cancer-related inflammation and the loss of motivation characteristic of advanced cancer. In a mouse study, they describe a brain pathway that starts ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

From birth, human survival depends on the ability to engage with others. This ability, which is essential for development, ...

UNIGE scientists identified a brain circuit where lies the origin the social difficulties experienced by people with autism spectrum disorders.

A recent paper links CAG repeat expansion with widespread RNA changes, especially in brain cells vulnerable to HD. “Knocking ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date — a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire ...
