When we hear sounds, specialized cells in the cochlear nucleus are the first to process that information, enabling our brains to understand speech, enjoy music and recognize various noises. For ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists from around the world are making headway in compiling a Human Cell Atlas -- a deep dive into the myriad types of cells ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

An estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain govern our body’s functions and conjure — somehow — the human mind. C. elegans has 302 neurons in one sex and a few more in the other.

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

Cell mapping methods have emerged as a robust framework for the global analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems. By discretising the continuous state space into a finite number of cells, researchers ...

Launching a company in today’s competitive (and litigious) spatial biology market may seem risky. But the new company, Moleculent, located in Stockholm, Sweden, has a different focus than the spatial ...

Mapping is crucial in understanding and contextualizing our environments. Mapping serves many purposes – it helps us establish efficient paths between destinations, locate new restaurants or find our ...
