Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...
