Scientists train living human brain cells on a chip to play the video game Doom in a breakthrough biocomputing experiment.

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

SuperAger brains have a special supportive cellular environment in the hippocampus, which has also been termed as a ...

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

We have a way to interact with these cells in real time and train them and shape their behavior to do things even like Doom.” ...

Scientists have mapped a direct link between a common brain gas and the hyperactive cell growth often seen in autism. Protecting a specific protein from this gas normalized behavior in animal models ...

Scientists are exploring neuroscience, particularly mirror neurons, to inspire advanced AI. These brain cells, which fire ...

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 ...

Stress is often seen as harmful, but a neurobiologist said it actually plays an important role in helping humans survive. However, problems can arise when the body’s stress response stays active for ...

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

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 ...
