During childhood and adolescence, our brain goes through a lot of changes. But studying those changes in juvenile mice is challenging because scientists don’t have a way to repeatedly image the same ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that an immunosuppressive drug affects microglia, the resident immune ...

A novel reversible, noninvasive technique to observe neuron formation and firing in juvenile mice has been developed. During childhood and adolescence, our brain goes through a lot of changes. But ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

Recent technological and scientific advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, which is in turn leading to interesting new discoveries. Over the past few years, many groups of ...

Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience ...

How the brain’s oxytocin system protects early brain development after injury. Brain injury in early life, whether caused by preterm birth or traumatic brain injury (TBI), often ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a mouse model of multiple sclerosis that captures the features of progression independent of relapse ...
