Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...

The nervous system is a marvel of biological engineering, composed of intricate networks that control every aspect of an animal's movement and behavior. A fundamental question in neuroscience is how ...

Cheng Lyu is the winner of the 2025 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for her work in understanding how neural circuits assemble with such remarkable precision during development. Neural ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks. Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
