How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer may not depend solely on chemical signals, as long assumed.

How can a brain as sophisticated as ours arise from a single cell? This question, long at the heart of neuroscience research, is based on a fundamental principle: each neuron must position ...

Researchers around the world are studying how the human brain achieves its extraordinary complexity. A team at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim and the German Primate Center—Leibniz ...

A team of researchers has created a 3D atlas of developing mice brains, providing a more dynamic understanding of how the mammalian brain develops. This atlas provides a common reference and ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have created the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila ...

SEATTLE, WASH. — DECEMBER 23, 2025 — Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet ...

HERSHEY, Pa. — A 3D atlas of developing mice brains using advanced imaging and microscopy techniques has been created by a team of researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and collaborators from ...
