In the complex circuitry of the brain, a fatty substance known as myelin plays a vital role in insulating neural wiring. It ...

When the brain is stimulated, blood flow increases. For 30 years, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), one of the ...

Researchers discovered lymph node-like immune hubs inside skull bone marrow that appear to act as rapid-response centers for ...

In cell culture labs around the world, human brain organoids live out their short lives as neural guinea pigs, testing the effects of diseases, toxins, and new pharmaceuticals. But they may soon be on ...

Clumps of mouse brain cells about the size of peppercorns can gain the knowhow to perform a virtual circus trick. With some coaching, these mouse brain organoids learned to keep a pole upright on a ...

Put “Alien” on standby — because science may be inching a tiny step closer to real-life cryosleep. In a breakthrough that sounds ripped straight from a Ridley Scott flick, researchers in Germany have ...

A familiar trope in science fiction is the cryopreserved time traveller, their body deep-frozen in suspended animation, then thawed and reawakened in another decade or century with all of their mental ...

We identified a distinct cluster of neurons in the medial amygdala of mice showing a striking on/off pattern of c-fos promoter activity. This cluster is consistently active in females, independent of ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Continuous glucose monitors have proven invaluable for monitoring blood glucose levels for diabetics, but they are of limited use for observing glucose dynamics at the cellular (or subcellular) level.

This study presents important methodologies for repeated brain ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) in awake mice and a set of results indicating that wakefulness reduces vascularity and blood ...
