Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

Around 10 million new cases of dementia are diagnosed globally every year, with Alzheimer’s disease accounting for 60-70% of ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from ...

In the future, a new type of computer may be able to learn much like you do—by experience rather than endless repetition or ...

Though it's now clear humans continue to grow new brain cells throughout their entire lives, debate persists over whether this applies to specific areas involved with memory. Previous studies have ...

Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to an upcoming study led by Stanford Medicine ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed artificial neurons that can communicate directly with ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...
