Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

A new brain device from Northwestern University is asking a daring question: what if information could reach your brain ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a pattern of gene expression that can be used to predict whether or ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

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

We effortlessly identify sensory inputs on the basis of temporal patterning alone (for instance, different Morse code symbols) and as effortlessly produce motor outputs with widely differing temporal ...

A study published in Science on Feb. 1 reported a comprehensive database of single-neuron projectomes consisting of over 10,000 mouse hippocampal neurons, thus revealing the spatial connectivity ...

Synthetic neural circuits made from silicon can accurately mimic the electrical properties of nerve cells, researchers reported yesterday (December 3) in Nature Communications. The research aims to ...

When a person thinks, speaks, eats, walks, or just sits comfortably with all bodily systems functioning normally, the billions of cells that make up the brain and the rest of the nervous system are ...
