Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Ever noticed how one yawn can trigger many? Science reveals how your brain copies others, why yawns spread so easily, and what this curious habit says about humans.

The brain controls the release of glucose in a wide range of stressful circumstances, including fasting and low blood sugar levels. However, less attention has been paid to its role in day-to-day ...

For more than a century, neuroscience textbooks have treated damaged neurons in the adult central nervous system as a dead end, especially in the delicate circuitry that carries visual information ...

Researchers have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...

A research team has demonstrated how the energy levels of individual neurons in the brain change during so-called spreading depolarizations -- waves of activity that occur in various brain disorders.

A small molecule known as 10H-phenothiazine reduced the loss of motor neurons, the nerve cells that are lost in SMA, in ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI), ...
