Scientists identified two types of brain cells, neurons and microglia, that are altered in people with depression. Through genomic mapping of post-mortem brain tissue, they found major differences in ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

Cerebral palsy is a condition usually caused by brain damage before or during birth, resulting in impaired posture and movement. A Japanese research team has demonstrated in rat experiments that stem ...

Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...
