Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

Now, researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet say they’ve found the clearest answer yet. They report the discovery of ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential ...

Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing ...

The team suspects that neurogenesis happens in other parts of the adult brain, too. In mice, new neurons are regularly made ...

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

First devised by Zoltan Takats, a chemist and professor at Imperial College London, the technology consists of a needle-like ...

As time goes by, our bodies change, you know, even the brain. A major change is how brain structure seems to shrink with age. Studies show that this happens at both large and small levels inside. You ...

The human brain is made up of billions of interconnected cells that are constantly talking to each other. A new Nature study zooms in to the single-cell level to see how this cellular communication ...
