Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a schematic and more like living tissue. Instead of treating neurons as ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Melissa Bjorklund, CSTM alumna, offers a reflection on the Neuroscience Book Club, noting the intersection between theology and neuroscience. This spring semester, members of the CSTM community were ...

Science can change over time. What once was thought as fact can, after further research, be deemed as false. Here are several school facts Baby Boomers were taught that are now proven false.

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...
