CHICAGO -- In a small study with big implications, researchers found some of the strongest evidence yet that sudden infant death syndrome -- a medical and sometimes legal mystery once known as crib ...

The brain stem is a portion of the brain made of four distinct sections: the diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata. Each of these sections has associated functions which are vital ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...

One of the challenges when studying brain development and disease is the limited access to live human brain tissue. Murine models have been extensively used to investigate brain development and ...

Researchers at the University of Lausanne have identified a novel role for the brain's "locus coeruleus" in sleep and its disruptions. This brain region facilitates the transition between NREM and REM ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

New biotech is helping scientists pull back the curtain on the developing brain and reveal the causes of the condition ...

Scientists restored stroke-damaged brain tissue in mice, raising hopes that recovery may begin long after a stroke.

Children with sickle cell anemia who undergo stem cell transplant tend to have better long-term cognition than those on ...
