When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

A new study suggests that the long-term antidepressant effects of psychedelics may be driven by persistent changes in how neurons fire rather than by the permanent growth of new brain cell connections ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C ...
