Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

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 developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Scientists are building experimental computers from living human brain cells and testing how they learn and adapt.

Two proteins found on the surface of motor neurons in the brain may be essential in the progression of Parkinson's disease, ...

In the 1970s, scientists from several countries proposed to reconstruct, one by one, all the neurons in the brain as they appear under an electron microscope. They started with a small worm.

Fragments from the brain of a man killed by the Mount Vesuvius eruption in the year 79 are smooth and shiny but still contain visible neurons. They look like small pieces of obsidian, smooth and shiny ...
