During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...

A zebra finch can fit in the palm of your hand, but its brain is doing something that looks almost unruly. Inside one part of ...

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of origin to their final location. The study in mice, published today in eLife ...

A study shows how newly created neurons depend on blood flow to travel to their final location in the adult brain, paving the way for future research on blood flow-dependent cell migration which may ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a “molecular ...

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.

When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...
