Bipolar disorder can feel like a storm that erupts from nowhere, yet for decades the brain circuitry driving those brutal ...

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 ...

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 study, published in Genomic Psychiatry, identified how stress hormones activate specific RNA molecules called long ...

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

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

So, he and his colleagues induced heart attacks in mice and examined responses in the vagus nerve, which carries signals between the brain, heart and digestive system. After a heart attack, vagus ...

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 ...

Harvard researchers have developed a method to grow specialized neurons, offering hope for better treatments for ALS and ...

At the core of the initiative is the CL1 biological computer developed by Cortical Labs, an Australian biotechnology company. Unlike conventional silicon-based computing architectures, this technology ...

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 ...
