By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of origin to their final location. The study in mice, published today in eLife ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital used fluorescent imaging techniques to track the sequence of molecular events that kickstart the migration of developing neurons, implicating an ...

A subset of neurons related to memory and neuroplasticity continue to migrate into the brain through toddlerhood. The human brain continues to be built after we are born for far longer than previously ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

Large chains of migrating cells forming braided streams break down into a shower of young migrating neurons that continue to integrate into the entorhinal cortex and neighboring regions until 2-3 ...
