The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

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

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

For more than six decades, neuroscientists have wrestled with a fundamental question about the human brain: Do adults continue to make new neurons, or are we born with all the brain cells we’ll ever ...

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough ...

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely ...

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 ...

Scientists have shown that a non-invasive sound stimulation of the brain at a specific frequency can clear toxic proteins ...
