Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking ...

A computer model developed by researchers from Japan and Seattle's Allen Institute could lead to new methods for studying brain diseases Read More ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

Leiden researchers can now visualise the connections between brain cells. They do so using a microscopy technique in which ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a ...

Researchers collaborating on a BRAIN Initiative project unveiled the most comprehensive map of developing mammalian brains to ...

High levels of calcium are toxic to cells and contribute to loss of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. A new study published in ...

Anatomy explorers have charted a new path myeloid cells use to access the brain. On 3 June in Neuron, scientists led by Lindsay Hohsfield and Kim Green, both at the University of California, Irvine, ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Hypertension begins harming the brain surprisingly early, even before measurable blood pressure increases. Key cells related to blood vessels, signaling, and myelin maintenance begin aging prematurely ...
