Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages between neurons with unprecedented speed and sensitivity. Dramatic performance ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Researchers have developed a new way to decipher the language of the brain by listening to and recording the fastest and ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

For decades, depression treatment has focused almost entirely on the brain, with drugs designed to tweak neurotransmitters ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing from cells ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...

Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.
