The aim of developmental neurobiology is to learn how the nervous system is built, and to find the developmental anomalies that are thought to underlie some brain diseases. …
Neurons form precise relationships with particular synaptic partners and these relationships give rise to the wiring diagram that enables cognitive function. Like other partnerships, neural connections need to…
The September 17, 2013 New York Times described a visit by MCB Professor Joshua Sanes to the Fordham University School of Law to discuss the NIH’s upcoming BRAIN…
Neurons send signals to other neurons along axons. Their growth is a major aspect of brain development, and one that occurs in a long series of steps. First,…
