The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

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

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...

Google scientists have modelled a fragment of the human brain at nanoscale resolution, revealing cells with previously undiscovered features. The 3D map covers a volume of about one cubic millimetre, ...

Electron microscope image of neurons in the cerebellum. This slice through the cells in the cerebellum shows a dendritic branch of a Purkinje cell and its side arms (yellow) receiving several ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Whether picking up a small object like a pen or coordinating different body parts, the cerebellum in the brain performs essential functions for controlling our movement. Researchers investigated how a ...
