New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

A study on mice identified a group of neurons in the central amygdala region of the brain that display a unique pattern of ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Findings could create new opportunities to treat and study neurodegenerative diseasesScientists discovered that sugar ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

The data were collected from people about to have surgery. They show that as anaesthesia takes hold, the interplay between ...

An enzyme known to regulate inflammation throughout the body has now been found to also act as a master switch for genes ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...
