New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

The research could lead to long-term developments in science and human health Princeton University researchers have used artificial intelligence and old-fashioned hard work to map out the brain ...
