Researchers have identified a specific class of brain neurons that dies during multiple sclerosis because inflammation ...

A series of recent studies in mice and rats has mapped specific brain circuits that appear to drive chronic pain, identifying ...

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...

A recent study by UCLA researchers offers new insight into how the brain makes sense of sequences of experiences, and it may have implications for treating certain memory disorders. The study, ...

Everyone wants to protect their memories. The idea of forgetting familiar faces or treasured moments drives many people to look for ways to protect their brain health. That motivation has fueled ...

A rare subtype of neuron from transplanted stem cells can reconnect spinal motor circuits and activate leg muscles after injury, offering new insight for spinal cord repair strategies, according to a ...

Neurons form networks by exchanging signals, enabling learning and adaptation. Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have developed a 3D-printed neuronal culture platform that ...

Animals survive in changing and unpredictable environments by not merely responding to new circumstances, but also, like humans, by forming inferences about their surroundings—for instance, squirrels ...
