Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the brain tend to cluster together mostly because they are abundant, not because ...

Scientists mapped brain activity across the day and found the same neurons create completely different networks depending on ...

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 ...

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 ...
