A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from ...

This fundamental work provides novel insights into the blood flow-dependent mechanisms of neuronal migration and the role of Ghrelin signaling in the adult brain. The authors present convincing ...

How do embryos develop? Why does the cortex of the mammalian brain fold? How do we feel touch at our fingertips? These and ...

Scientists have discovered that blood flow helps direct the movement of newly formed neurons in the adult brain, revealing a surprising link between circulation and brain cell migration.

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

Just an hour of socializing per day helped mice fight tumors. Now scientists have traced the brain circuitry that turns ...

Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence ...

A new technology to more accurately trace neuron shapes from microscopy images is outlined in research released by E11 Bio, a nonprofit Focused Research Organization based in Alameda, Calif. The aim ...
