Scientists have uncovered a powerful strategy that the brain uses to coordinate chemical signaling. In a new study, researchers found that in the striatum, a brain region central to learning and ...

In frog brains (orange-blue), developing axons from the eye (yellow-white) follow a specific path to reach their final destination. Along the way, they make a characteristic turn. This turning is ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help shape those signals. Scientists discovered that tissue stiffness can ...
