UCSF researchers are using tiny "mini-organs" to model disease, personalize treatment, and understand human development. They ...

A major transition in evolution is the shift from asexual to sexual reproduction in early organisms. But why would a yeast ...

A recent study published in Cell Death & Disease suggests that specific cellular abnormalities in the brain associated with ...

Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) frequently exhibit hippocampal atrophy and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)–like symptoms, yet the neural mechanisms linking these clinical features remain ...

Luce. In Italian it means ‘light’, the sort that’s currently flooding through the windows on the 36th floor of San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid. The view across this famous bay is spectacular, the ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Abstract: We present a new version of our optical model for solar cell simulation: GenPro4. Its working principles are briefly explained. The model is suitable for quickly and accurately simulating a ...

Summary: Cannabis use in adolescents may lead to thinning of the cerebral cortex, a key brain region for cognitive function. Researchers found that THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, causes the ...

Pyramidal neurons, a mainstay of cortical regions, receive a plethora of inputs from various areas onto their morphologically distinct apical and basal trees. Both trees differentially contribute to ...

Abstract: Microgravity is the key environment of weightlessness experienced by all astronauts during spaceflights that cause severe physiological alterations in the human body. The effect of ...

Hippocampus is a brain structure embedded deep in the temporal lobe of each cerebral cortex. It is an important part of the limbic system, a cortical region that regulates motivation, emotion, ...

Learning from experience depends at least in part on changes in neuronal connections. We present the largest map of connectivity to date between cortical neurons of a defined type (layer 2/3 [L2/3] ...
