The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

#1 Neurons complete hippocampus loop There's a new, important function for a once-obscure cell population in the brain: CA2 pyramidal neurons, a subset of cells in the hippocampus, form a link between ...

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

New research on the mouse brain uncovers a finely layered architecture within the hippocampus, resembling what has been observed in human brains, providing a blueprint for understanding memory and ...

Researchers studying circular RNAs (circRNAs) in brain cells have reported new insights into neurological diseases. Investigators headed by a team at Brigham and Women’s Hospital used a laser-capture ...

Researchers are gaining new insights into neurological diseases by studying circular RNAs (circRNAs) in brain cells. A new study by investigators from the Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding ...
