Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

A new study published in the journal Neuron provides evidence that the brain stores competing memories of alcohol use and the ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster when the body encounters a familiar threat, shedding light on immune memory ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

For decades, depression has been explained to patients as a “chemical imbalance” in the brain, a vague phrase that never specified which chemicals, in which cells, were going wrong. A study published ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

In a new study, published in Cell, the research team have overcome this problem by identifying the distinct 'electrical signatures' of different neuron types in the mouse brain, using brief pulses of ...

Graphic illustration shows the key steps involved in pre-programming select immune memory cells for rapid response. A study in Cell Reports, led by experts at Cincinnati Children's, details a network ...
