A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

Fiber-optic technology revolutionized the telecommunications industry and may soon do the same for brain research.

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

A new study identifies biliverdin reductase A (BVRA) as a crucial enzyme defending neurons from oxidative stress, acting ...

This article discusses research by Dr. Lee J. Martin and his team on HIE, a leading cause of neonatal mortality ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons — the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain — are equipped with “backup batteries” that kick in to keep the brain running during ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can ...
