New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before synapses, the ...

Every thought, memory, and feeling we experience depends on trillions of tiny connection points in the brain called synapses.

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...

New connections begin to form between brain cells almost immediately as animals learn a new task, according to a study published this week in Nature. Led by researchers at the University of California ...

By tagging neurons with molecular “barcodes,” researchers mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Once in the brain, lung cancer cells can plug themselves into the electrical circuitry there and grow, a study of mice shows. The results, published September 10 in Nature, highlight the deep and ...
