Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...
A team from UNIGE has shown that neurons positioned in the wrong place can still perform their function without disrupting ...
A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...
The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...
A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.
Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain stores many of these ...
When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...
The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...
Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...
Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, memory, and social recognition. Led by Shannon Farris, assistant professor at ...
In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...
