Summary: A new study reveals how AI-driven deep learning models can decode the genetic regulatory switches that define brain cell types across species. By analyzing human, mouse, and chicken brains, ...

Researchers have developed a method to study bird brains by creating digital endocasts from empty cranial spaces in bird skeletons. Using this technique, they discovered that physical brain tissues ...

Alone Tyrannosaurus rex sniffs the humid Cretaceous air, scenting a herd of Triceratops grazing beyond the tree line. As the predator scans the floodplain, its vision suddenly snaps into focus. A ...

In this important study, the authors present a human telencephalon-eye organoid model that exhibits remarkable pathfinding and growth of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons. The identification of ...

The app provides a user-friendly approach to explore the single-cell data from the maturing zebrafish telencephalon across the 6dpf, 15dpf and adult ages (integrated and individual age-specific ...

The dorsal telencephalon (i.e. the pallium) exhibits high anatomical diversity across vertebrate classes. The non-mammalian dorsal pallium accommodates various compartmentalized structures among ...

The telencephalon is the part of the brain responsible for executive functions in fish, according to an experimental study published in PNAS Nexus. Zegni Triki and colleagues used guppies (Poecilia ...
