Researchers have developed a new type of artificial neuron that physically emulates the electrochemical processes of ...

Scientists developed a wireless brain implant smaller than a grain of sand that recorded neural activity in mice for 365 days ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back.

Everything’s a little off when you haven’t had any sleep: you can’t remember where you put your cell phone, your eyes burn, ...

Synchronization is one of nature’s most mysterious phenomena, seen when independent systems suddenly begin moving in unison.

Northwestern researchers were able to calm overactive neurons and restore neuronal activity, which could potentially slow the progression of disease.

Brain cell signals travel along axons, the thin wire-like extensions of neurons, moving signals along the membrane in a pearl ...
