Three studies show that tumor cells can behave like neurons.

A brain-activated, bone-derived hormone called osteocalcin regulates the acute stress response in rodents and possibly humans.

Patients who suffer a traumatic brain injury may exhibit abnormally abundant tau protein many years later, a new in vivo imaging technique reveals.

Scientists traced 1,000 neurons through the mouse brain, uncovering new details about how the organ is wired.

Researchers identify changes to a pain receptor and to an ion channel that appear to enable the rodents to colonize otherwise inhospitable burrows.

Researchers link levels of a receptor in the brain to suicidal ideation in people with post-traumatic stress disorder.

After growing in culture for a few months, the mini-brains produced rhythmic neural activity that strengthened over time.

A small study reports that, among children who had left-hemisphere damage as newborns, the complementary region of the right hemisphere appears to compensate and protect language development.

Mutations within the MS4A gene cluster have been linked to changes in protein levels that affect disease risk.
