The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in ...

The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection between the brain and the rest of the body. It is classified in two ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

Researchers have shed new light on how the brain processes and synthesizes information. Findings help solve a longstanding mystery in neuroscience. For decades, scientists have focused on how the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Regenerating neurons may be one way to improve cognition. stanislavgusev/RooM via Getty Images Your brain can still make new ...

How do embryos develop? Why does the cortex of the mammalian brain fold? How do we feel touch at our fingertips? These and other fundamental biological questions remain unsolved. Yet, scientists know ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

New research has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning. New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...

Neurons in the bird eye’s inner retina lack a blood supply. Finding how these neurons function without oxygen reveals a role for an enigmatic eye structure. Read the paper: Oxygen-free metabolism in ...
