Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...

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 ...

By analyzing tissue from patients with Parkinson's disease, and animal and cellular models of the disease, a research team ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, found that the ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
