A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity.

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

This study presents a fundamental discovery of how cerebellar climbing fibers modulate plastic changes in the somatosensory cortex by identifying both the responsible cortical circuit and the ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and limb ...

Researchers led by Masako Tamaki at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan report a link between deep sleep and ...

Can We Blame Our Mirror Neurons? Where do these urges come from? Partly from our mirror neurons. These neurons were ...

Scientists have uncovered a dangerous hidden feature in Black Mamba venom that explains why antivenoms sometimes fail. The study revealed that several mamba species launch a dual neurological attack, ...

Scientists discovered that high-fat junk food disrupts memory circuits in the brain almost immediately. Within just four days, neurons in the hippocampus became overactive, impairing memory. Restoring ...

Scientists have discovered a group of brain cells in the orbitofrontal cortex that become more active when outcomes are uncertain, revealing how the brain adapts and learns from unpredictable ...

A breakthrough study at the University of Queensland has discovered a hidden dangerous feature of the black mamba, one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
