Researchers have uncovered a surprising molecular chain reaction in the brain that may play a role in some forms of autism. The study suggests that nitric oxide, a tiny signaling molecule normally ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

A growing body of research is converging on specific brain regions and networks that appear to generate conscious experience, from dreaming to waking awareness. Multiple independent lines of evidence ...

Florida Atlantic University has received a $2.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate how an immune-related receptor in neurons plays a fundamental role in brain function ...

Researchers challenge the long-standing "neural independence" theory, showing that learning actually makes neurons more coordinated.

Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Researchers will explore how the immune receptor IL-1R1 in neurons affects brain function and behavior. Beyond its role in inflammation, IL-1R1 shapes neuronal activity, synapses, and circuits, ...

Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

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

New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during prenatal brain development than scientists previously believed. This ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...
