Why do children think and behave differently from adults? Why do we become forgetful in old age? Researchers have shown for the first time how the connections between the brain's nerve cells, the ...

Without the millions of thriving synapses that link them, neurons in the brain are useless. The crumbling of these tiny connective structures is widely viewed as the proximal step to cognitive ...

Microglia, the primary brain macrophages, regulate a plethora of processes that impact the organization of neural circuits, including synapse pruning. Whether microglia are generic effectors of ...

If a brain is our Earth, then we, as inhabitants, are individual brain cells. Just as our human relationships and connections can nudge, push, or dramatically shift societal values and consequences, ...
