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 ...

A new study suggests that the long-term antidepressant effects of psychedelics may be driven by persistent changes in how ...

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 ...

For the first time, lab-grown human brain cells were implanted into rats, and successfully altered their behavior by integrating with their brains.

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

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and various other online platforms, has grown exponentially over the past few years. Current ...

Researchers found a "garbage man" enzyme that tags toxic clumps of proteins in the brain for removal, and saw a correlation ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

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 ...

Picture a mammal that can deliberately shut down most of its brain functions for most of the year, then wake up in the spring with its memories and in.

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