COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y. — The brain’s ability to rapidly adapt to changing rules is crucial for survival, yet scientists have struggled to understand exactly how this works. A study has now ...
In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.
Researchers report that they have successfully tested a novel approach for teaching the human brain to learn through external manipulation and neural feedback -- what they call the 'sculpting' of ...
How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.
