The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...
Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the ...
Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...
Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...
Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...
A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a potentially fatal type of epilepsy, a symptom of mitochondrial diseases. The ...
By analyzing tissue from patients with Parkinson's disease, and animal and cellular models of the disease, a research team ...
