A healthy brain maintains a harmony of neurons that excite or inhibit other neurons, but the lines between different types of ...

University of Michigan researchers discovered that psychedelics enhance brain connectivity in far more neurons than ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a network of neural connections. But how are these signals adjusted to refine our perceptions? A team from the University of Geneva ...

A study by the Center for Regenerative Therapies in Dresden suggests what every parent with children who scream all the time ...

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It explores how physical components, such as neurons and their connections, give rise ...

French and Canadian scientists reactivate mitochondria energy in neurons and successfully restore memory in mice with ...

A collaborative French–Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing.

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

Researchers identified neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex that encode illusions that receive information from higher ...

Researchers uncovered a new subtype of hypothalamic neurons, called Crabp1 neurons, that serve as powerful regulators of energy expenditure.

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

A part of the brain that is about the size of a sunflower seed in people could play a big role in our food consumption ...
