Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...

Protocadherins, a subfamily within the cadherin superfamily, are fundamental to the precise organisation of neural circuits. They contribute to cell adhesion mechanisms that underlie synaptic ...

Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, ...

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 ...
