The nervous system governs both ontogeny and oncology. Regulating organogenesis
during development, maintaining homeostasis, and promoting plasticity throughout life, the …

The nervous system regulates tissue stem and precursor populations throughout life.
Parallel to roles in development, the nervous system is emerging as a critical regulator of …

How accurate is the picture of the human mind that has emerged from studies in
neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science? Anybody with an interest in how minds …

Measurement of correlations between brain regions (functional connectivity) using blood
oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI has proven to be a powerful tool for studying the …

The human cerebellum has a protracted developmental timeline compared with the
neocortex, expanding the window of vulnerability to neurological disorders. As the …

Sensory areas are spontaneously active in the absence of sensory stimuli. This
spontaneous activity has long been studied; however, its functional role remains largely …

There is a growing understanding that pathological genetic variation and environmental
insults during sensitive periods in brain development have long-term consequences on …

Directing the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells into motor neurons has allowed
investigators to develop new models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However …

Primary somatosensory neurons convey salient information about our external environment
and internal state to the CNS, allowing us to detect, perceive, and react to a wide range of …

Neuronal activity has been shown to be essential for the proper formation of neuronal
circuits, affecting developmental processes like neurogenesis, migration, programmed cell …
