The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from ...

A team at University of Massachusetts Amherst developed artificial neurons that fire in the same voltage range as living cells. Silicon and biology can now speak the same electrical language.

A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Johns Hopkins scientists found that neurons form tiny nanotube networks to transport toxins like amyloid-beta.

The neurons in our brain that underlie thought connect to each other using tiny branch-like structures on their surfaces ...

A groundbreaking study conducted by engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has developed an artificial neuron ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...

Your baby’s brain continues to develop in the coming weeks, endowing him with a remarkable range of involuntary movements like stretching, yawning, and sucking by the end of the first trimester and ...
