A healthy brain maintains a harmony of neurons that excite or inhibit other neurons, but the lines between different types of cells are blurrier than researchers once thought.

A study by the Center for Regenerative Therapies in Dresden suggests what every parent with children who scream all the time knows: silence repairs and heals.

A French and Canadian team used a molecular switch to boost energy production from mitochondria inside brain cells, restoring memory in mice with dementia-like symptoms. The work links energy failure ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a network of neural connections. But how are these signals adjusted to refine our perceptions? A team from the University of Geneva ...

The discovery challenges decades of assumptions and points to new hope for patients with depression, Alzheimer's, and beyond Study: Psychedelic ...

Dogs do it, cats do it, deer do it – in fact, many species of mammals can swivel their ears to direct their hearing. Humans lost this ability about 25 million years ago, but according to a new study, ...

In Parkinson’s disease (PD), certain dopamine-producing neurons in the brain die off, and aggregates of a molecule called α-synuclein form. Patients experience gradual and debilitating movement ...

Parkinson's disease causes both movement and cognitive deficits, and for a long time both were thought to be caused by the accumulation of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. But a new ...

A research team has developed a nanocomposite-modified microelectrode array (MEA) that enables long-term, high-sensitivity monitoring of neuronal activity during hibernation. Their findings were ...

A new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers one of the most comprehensive views yet of how brain cells interact in Alzheimer’s disease, mapping protein networks that reveal ...

A South Korean research group has reported in a new paper that artificial intelligence and light-based genetic tools can work together to diagnose and stop Parkinson’s-like disease in mice. The work ...

In 2021, a dish of living human brain cells figured out how to play the 1970s arcade game Pong. It took just five minutes for the collection of neurons, called DishBrain, to learn how to move the ...
