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

Johns Hopkins scientists reveal that “inactive” GluD brain proteins regulate neuronal communication and open up new ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that ...

New memristor-based artificial neurons emit light to enable denser, more efficient 3D AI chips, pointing to a future beyond ...

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

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 ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

A newly discovered collection of neurons suggests the brain and heart communicate to trigger a neuroimmune response after a heart attack, which may pave the way for new therapies ...

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