New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

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

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

An international team of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, working with the Paul Scherrer Institute, has developed a new imaging protocol to capture mouse brain cell connections in ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

Filippo Beleggia, MD, PhD, didn’t believe his own data. As a postdoctoral researcher, he spent years in the laboratory of Christian Reinhardt, MD, PhD, at the University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, ...
