Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

The claustrum is a thin sheet of neurons buried deep within the cerebral cortex. The structure is so small and hidden that ...

Anyone who has ever tried and failed to swat a fly has experienced the speed of a tiny nervous system. Now, a new review ...

A fruit fly's brain is roughly the size of a poppy seed — and yet that tiny package contains over 100,000 neurons. A new map charts every single neuron in the male fruit fly brain, as well as the ...

Stanford researchers implanted lab-grown human brain tissue into newborn rats, where it matured, connected to neural circuits, and helped scientists study brain development and disease.

Biological fundamentals and recent progress of artificial sensory neurons are systematically reviewed. Basic device, performance metrics, and potential applications of artificial sensory neurons are ...

How does the brain make sense of what we see, hear, and feel - and transform these separate signals into a coherent perception of the world? A new study published in Science provides important clues ...

Rutgers researchers are revealing how the brain decides which sensory experiences previously associated with an adverse ...
