Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

Researchers have developed photonic computing chips that overcome key limitations for a type of neural network known as a ...

The most advanced new surgical procedure, AMI, addresses proprioception. This refers to the ability to sense position and movement. In an intact human arm or leg, muscles work in pairs. When a bicep ...

Spinal cord injury often triggers a cascade of secondary damage that severely limits functional recovery, largely driven by ...

A two-chip photonic neuromorphic system performs real time spiking reinforcement learning using only light, achieving ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

Neural excitability is not constant; it depends on the brain's internal state. Our results show that even identical neurons can respond differently depending on the time of day, governed by molecules ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...
