A new study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, is leading to a new understanding of how immune cells can influence adult neurogenesis, the process of creating new neurons in the ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka report the development of two fluorescent indicators, Gachapin and Gachapin-C, that ...

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and various other online platforms, has grown exponentially over the past few years. Current ...

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

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

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity into meanings that shape perception and action.

Brain cells that promote tumor expansion for aggressive cancers such as glioblastoma can be “flipped” to instead inhibit that ...

“By the time we examine an autopsied brain-tissue sample, a pathologist will have rinsed it with alcohol, removing lipids,” said Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, the D. H. Chen Professor II, a professor of ...

DNA provides the foundational library of possibilities, but the environment serves as the librarian, choosing which books are ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...
