New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

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 ...

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

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

Pain-sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...

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 ...
