A team from UNIGE has shown that neurons positioned in the wrong place can still perform their function without disrupting ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons.

VIB and KU Leuven researchers used spatial transcriptomics to map gene activity in motor neuron cell bodies and axons. In ALS ...

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

For decades, scientists have known that what harms the body often harms the brain. Conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance strain the body’s vascular and metabolic ...
