Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity.

Scientists who study the brain have long tried to unlock the neural mysteries of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They can be difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat. The scientists began ...

The brain stem is a portion of the brain made of four distinct sections: the diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata. Each of these sections has associated functions which are vital ...

Using lab-grown brain tissue, researchers uncovered complex patterns of neural signaling that differ subtly between healthy ...

For decades, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been diagnosed from the outside in, through behavior, mood, and memory ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a novel pathway to wake up dormant neural stem cells, ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have identified a protein key to the development of a type of brain cell believed to play a role in disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's ...

When the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord becomes damaged, a number of debilitating conditions can result that limit mobility, inhibit independence and reduce ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...
