Researchers mapped 84,000 neurons in a mouse brain after it watched video clips. The 3D map links structure and activity.

The brain learns due to neurons using multiple mechanisms to store knowledge according to a new study by researchers.

The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

in the brain – how they’re activated and send messages to each other. Scientists have long known those signals move from one neuron along fibers called axons and dendrites, using synapses to ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...
