New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation.

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Every time we smile, grimace, or flash a quick look of surprise, it feels effortless, but the brain is quietly coordinating an intricate performance.

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...
