Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a fundamental principle underlying how the human brain processes ...

While E. Josie Clowney would never suggest that neuroscience is simple, a new study by her team at the University of Michigan ...

A new study reorganizes 8,000 fruit fly neurons into 200 modular ground plans using dual regulatory gene sets.

Ferroptosis, a type of cell death, may help maintain neuron balance in the hippocampus, supporting memory, learning and brain ...

The number of patients living with neurodegenerative diseases that affect movement is rising steadily. Yet a large-scale study from the Paris Brain Institute and the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.
