The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

The brain, much like muscles, strengthens through challenge and rest. Neuroplasticity allows adult brains to form new ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Researchers have developed a new type of artificial neuron that physically emulates the electrochemical processes of biological brain cells. This innovation, which relies on the movement of atoms ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

While diet changes have long been credited for long-term health benefits, it's not often for brain health. A new UNC study ...
