A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain’s neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Scientists have identified a previously unseen layered organization inside one of the brain’s most important memory hubs.

It’s not that we’re too ignorant to know certain things things harm us. We all know drinking or doom-scrolling until our brain is nothing but a pickled prunes is bad for us, right? This happens to ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Scientists and Indigenous sailors in the Marshall Islands are studying seafaring and the human brain. Scientists and Indigenous sailors in the Marshall Islands are studying seafaring and the human ...

Robots that can sense and respond to the world like humans may soon be a reality as scientists have created an artificial neuron capable of mimicking different parts of the brain. Artificial ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

But even I, a dedicated pro-hobby partisan, may have missed out on another huge benefit of finding yourself a creative outlet. Not only do hobbies bring you joy and success, a new study finds they ...

Researchers have developed a new type of artificial neuron that physically emulates the electrochemical processes of biological brain cells. This innovation, which relies on the movement of atoms ...
