New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before synapses, the ...

A young zebra finch learning to sing may not sound like much at first, just a babbling stream of chirps and whistles. But ...

Picture every synapse in your brain as a phone line. About 70% of them are live, carrying signals right now. But according to ...

Researchers develop LinCx, a biological "wire" that creates precision electrical bypasses in the brain to restore function without drugs or external stimulation.

New connections begin to form between brain cells almost immediately as animals learn a new task, according to a study published this week in Nature. Led by researchers at the University of California ...

Broken or disrupted circuits in the brain contribute to many neurological disorders. A new custom-built biological "wire" ...

Have you ever wondered how a fly manages to dodge you in a split second? Scientists have long been fascinated by the ...

Expansion microscopy enabled researchers to count the number of connections between neurons (green points on purple neuron). Neurons exposed to amyloid-beta formed more connections (SSBs = single ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

Neurons and white blood cells differ greatly in shape, function, and location within the body. However, researchers at the ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before ...
