In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final ...

New research reveals that neurons can switch their migration strategy depending on whether they move on flat surfaces or through tight, crowded spaces.

Neural networks are one typical structure on which artificial intelligence can be based. The term "neural" describes their ...

Researchers mapped 84,000 neurons in a mouse brain after it watched video clips. The 3D map links structure and activity.

Researchers uncover how kaempferol, a natural compound in kale and berries, may protect nerve cells and fight ALS and ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Scientists have identified distinct thirst and hunger neurons in the amygdala that drive eating and drinking, offering ...

A new study reveals that the protein alpha-synuclein, known for its role in Parkinson’s disease, also contributes to the development of melanoma by promoting excessive DNA repair and cell ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits, findings that may ...

Neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's involve progressive neuronal loss due to ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits. The findings demonstrate that stimulating natural brain processes may help repair damaged ...
