Scientists have developed a new technique which allows them to see tiny clusters in the brain which are believed to trigger Parkinson’s disease. Researchers likened the breakthrough to “being able to ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: ...

Scientists have discovered how harmful clumps inside brain cells—linked to diseases like ALS and Huntington’s—form, and found a way to break them apart. These sticky tangles of RNA develop inside tiny ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...

In early older adulthood, modularity increases as the brain becomes more divided into specialized clusters that communicate less frequently with one another. This shift toward greater ...
