The brain's 'garbage disposal' system falters with age, a new study finds, with long-lived neurons offloading clumpy, old proteins onto other brain cells. Many of those proteins are involved in brain ...

A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to uncover the neural processes that allow humans and various other animals to ...

A nasal spray using extracellular vesicles can reduce brain inflammation, restore cell function, and improve cognition, ...

The human brain is a marvel of nature, a labyrinth of neurons and synapses that dictates every aspect of our behavior, thoughts, and feelings. Yet, despite its critical role in our lives, it remains ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

A new noninvasive neurostimulation technique capable of reaching deep regions of the brain has been used to elucidate the ...

In these animal models, pups exposed to rough care process maternal cues aberrantly. Instead of the mother’s presence calming the pup’s fear circuitry, it can increase activity in areas of the brain ...
