Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Not everything in the brain is meant to last. As our brains assemble, trillions of neural connections have to be built or torn down at the right time and place. Otherwise, the seeds of disorders like ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press research article, scientists have uncovered remarkable insights into how the earliest brain connections shape infant emotional development, potentially offering new ...

Researchers have made great strides to understand early signs of autism. Studies have found that certain factors like ...

A surge of a neural-specific protein in the brain is the earliest-yet biomarker for Alzheimer's disease, report researchers studying a mouse model of the disease. Furthermore, the increased protein ...
