For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Questions about the nature of consciousness remain among the most perplexing areas of modern scientific research, with ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

New work in mice is revealing how losing insulation on just a few nerve fibers can throw off the timing of brain signals and ...

The intricate bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain, known as the Gut-Brain Axis (GBA), is fundamental to human physiology and ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

WASHINGTON – A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity ...

For more than a century, scientists believed they had a solid understanding of how the brain’s billions of neurons talk to each other. Messages flowed through synapses, where chemical messengers leapt ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

A newly discovered role for the brain protein cypin could open fresh paths for treating memory loss and brain disorders. Credit: Stock Research led by Rutgers suggests there could be significant new ...
