In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.
Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...
Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...
The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine ...
Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...
Cheng Lyu is the winner of the 2025 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for her work in understanding how neural circuits assemble with such remarkable precision during development. Neural ...
Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...
When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...
