The Bioluminescence Hub at Brown, a collaborative team of neuroscientists from around the U.S., found a way to harness light ...

Recent technological and scientific advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, which is in turn ...

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 ...

The human brain is anything but static, shifting neural activity depending on time of day. In A Nutshell Scientists mapped ...

The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain stores many of these ...

Scientists have created a soft wireless implant that uses tiny flashes of light to send information straight into the brain, ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

In two separate studies, researchers learned more about the way that our brains respond to music. One study found that brain neurons synchronize with musical rhythms, while the other showed how ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you're an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to ...
