Your brain is carrying a massive reserve of wiring it has never switched on. Researchers at MIT have found that roughly 30 ...

Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute for Physiology, working in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, have achieved an important breakthrough in brain research. The ...

The single-celled Stentor coeruleus learns through CaMKII-driven protein modification, mirroring mechanisms found in the human brain.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before synapses, the ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a hybrid biocomputing platform that combines living brain ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before ...
