One of the most remarkable discoveries of modern neuroscience is that the adult brain is capable of producing new neurons in various mammalian species, including humans. For more than 30 years, ...

When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer’s-like ...

Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries.

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Northwestern researchers have developed a wireless device that uses patterns of light to send information directly to the ...

AI is ultimately a story about selfhood—and the answer will not be found in the machine, but in what mindful awareness allows us to recognize when we see ourselves reflected there.

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...
