Discovery that astrocyte networks shrink and reroute after a loss of sensory signals suggests they may be shaped by experience.

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new ...

A team at Harvard studying the social behavior of mice found that the brain treats isolation and loneliness in much the same way it processes hunger or thirst. Within the hypothalamus, the brain’s hub ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, a new study in mice showed. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that have ...

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a miniaturized microscope that enables real-time, high-resolution, and non-invasive imaging of brain activity in mice. The innovation ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light microscope, using a trick that inflates a tiny sample to 16 times its original size ...
