We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new ...

Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...

Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Why does running help the brain? New research using single-cell sequencing highlights specific genetic pathways restored by ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

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 ...

Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...
