Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, which is essentially the brain's white matter, was believed to serve the ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Scientists at the Carney Institute for Brain Science have discovered specific patterns of electrical signals in the brain that may help forecast whether a person will go on to develop Alzheimer’s ...

Nia Therapeutics announced publication in Brain Stimulation of the first in vivo validation of its Smart Neurostimulation ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.
