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 ...

Recent technological and scientific advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, which is in turn ...

If you’ve ever tried learning Blender from scratch as I have, you know just how brutal the learning curve can be. I spent ...

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the ...

This important study establishes the first vertebrate models of DeSanto-Shinawi Syndrome, revealing conserved craniofacial and social and behavioral phenotypes across mouse and zebrafish that mirror ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that ...

"You could really, in a very fundamental sense, talk about redrawing the border around a brain," Hodak says, "possibly to include four hemispheres, or a device, or a whole group of people." ...

Two years ago, a pair of 22-year-old friends who met in high school in Michigan found themselves sitting inside Tsinghua University’s brain lab in Beijing, staring down a multimillion-dollar offer ...
