The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

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 ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

Findings could create new opportunities to treat and study neurodegenerative diseasesScientists discovered that sugar ...

A new study from Sweden links long-term air pollution exposure to higher risk of motor neurone disease and faster progression ...

Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron ...

OpenAI, Google, and Moonshot AI are ushering in agentic AI systems that investigate, coordinate, and verify tasks beyond ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

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 ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...
