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

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

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

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

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain, is now known to be ...

Pain-sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...

Our brains are made of billions of neurons, which are connected forming complex networks. They communicate between themselves by sending electrical signals, known as action potentials, and chemical ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

Scientists just taught hundreds of thousands of neurons in a dish to play Pong. Using a series of strategically timed and placed electrical zaps, the neurons not only learned the game in a virtual ...
