MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal ...

A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

Scientists say their new insights into how a key brain protein works could help resolve a long-standing question in molecular ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that produces them. That vision is suddenly closer to reality, as glowing neurons ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Scientists are building experimental computers from living human brain cells and testing how they learn and adapt.

Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

In the first long-term and real-world reflective study of its kind, scientists have uncovered new detrimental health impacts of the artificial sweetener aspartame that echoes those found in shorter ...
