Harvard researchers have mapped and cataloged more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system. These regions, including the cortex, basal ganglia, brainstem, and ...

Scientists explore how the immune and nervous systems constantly communicate, influencing brain diseases, behavior, and ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

New research shows that different brain regions handle timing and location in distinct ways, offering fresh insights into how ...

Humans and certain animals appear to have an innate capacity to learn relationships between different objects or events in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...

Discover how your mind filters out distractions. New research reveals the specialized neural mechanisms that actively block ...

The physiological power and biological value of brain-derived neurotrophic factor is so significant that it is often referred ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making.
