Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new ...

Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Our brains are made of billions of neurons, which are connected forming complex networks. They communicate between themselves by sending electrical signals, known as action potentials, and chemical ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

Scientists just taught hundreds of thousands of neurons in a dish to play Pong. Using a series of strategically timed and placed electrical zaps, the neurons not only learned the game in a virtual ...
