Readers are spoiled for choice when it comes to popular science reading this month, with new titles by major names including Maggie Aderin and Michael Pollan ...

A heart attack activates stress circuits in the brain that evolved for survival but can amplify inflammation, disrupt healing ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

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

Research has revealed the neurotoxic mechanism of nicotine at environmentally relevant concentrations in zebrafish embryos. By integrating computational predictions with multi-omics experimental ...

Children learn long before they speak in full sentences. They watch faces, shoulders, hands, and pauses. A sigh after work, a ...

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

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 ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, according to researchers from the School ...

Hrithik Roshan took to Instagram to share a lengthy post explaining the reason behind his temporary knee trouble and why he ...
