The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.

Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from raw thalamic data. Using high-resolution synaptic imaging, the study ...
