For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

The detailed mapping revealed an unexpected pattern. One specific section of the dendrite contained an unusually dense ...

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 ...

Scientists in South Korea have discovered that one of the most common malignant brain tumors in young adults may begin years ...

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

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

While diet changes have long been credited for long-term health benefits, it's not often for brain health. A new UNC study ...

Researchers from the University of Konstanz have studied how insect brains take in complex light stimuli and process them in ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...
