Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.

Researchers have discovered that mysterious clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling 'hotspots' that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

In the current issue of Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology published on December 16th, 2020, a research team led by Prof. Gong Chen at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China, reported an ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...
