We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline – particularly in verbal learning, or ...

Human neurons transplanted into a rat’s brain continue to grow, forming connections with the animals’ own brain cells and helping guide their behavior, new research has shown.

Being in the water engages your baby’s body in a completely unique way, creating billions of new neurons as your baby kicks, glides, and smacks at the water.

These unique neurons might hold the key Research suggests our intelligence may arise from specialized brain cells only found in humans. By Carlyn Zwarenstein. Published March 25, ...

Researchers have identified neurons in the brains of baby mice that enable them to form a unique, strong bond with their mother in the first few days of life. Stimulating these neurons in mouse ...

With 3,016 neurons and 58,000 neural connections, ... University and the University of Cambridge announced they'd completed a 12-year-long effort to map the brain of a baby fruit fly; ...

In this University of Rochester study, neuroscientists used brain imaging data of more than 11,000 children aged 9 to 11, to compare the structures of neurons in their brains.

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. 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.

A quarter-century ago, researchers discovered that adults, not just developing infants, can generate new brain cells, a process called neurogenesis. But it’s still not clear what role these new ...
