The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) ...

A computer model developed by researchers from Japan and Seattle's Allen Institute could lead to new methods for studying ...

How is it that we all see the world in a similar way? Imagine sitting with a friend in a café, both of you looking at a phone screen displaying a dog running along the beach. Although each of our ...

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 race to understand the brain has just crossed a threshold that once belonged to science fiction. Using one of the world’s ...

The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are now calling an “all-body brain,” with neurons that function as a ...

Using a speck of mouse brain matter the size of a grain of sand, scientists have created the first precise, three-dimensional map of a mammal’s brain. The map details the form, function and activity ...

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 ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in ...

Neurons in the brain communicate with each other through synapses—connection points that allow the passage of electrical and chemical signals. In non-neuronal cells, direct cell-to-cell connections ...

Children with autism have different brains than children without autism, down to the structure and density of their neurons, according to a study by the University of Rochester Medical Center, New ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) and their colleagues have made a ...
