BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement—they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

One of the brain’s fundamental roles is to generate the correct body movements at the correct time. Understanding how the brain accomplishes this task, and how this process goes wrong in disease, has ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...

As people grow older, many notice that their balance is not as steady as it used to be. Walking may become slower, climbing ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain’s cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...
