Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information.

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...
