Spinal cord injury often triggers a cascade of secondary damage that severely limits functional recovery, largely driven by ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

Humans and many other animals can innately recognize familiar objects in their surroundings, irrespective of the angle they are observed from, changes in lighting or other shifts in the surrounding ...

Tubulin acts as a master regulator, preventing Tau and alpha-synuclein from forming toxic clumps in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

A collaborative initiative with American Nutraceutical Corp. advancing structured models of neural adaptation and ...

Researchers identify prochlorperazine as a potential new treatment for temporal lobe epilepsy by restoring the KCC2 chloride ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...

"You need those neurons to be functional, and for them to be functional, they need a reliable internal source of clean energy," Sehgal explained. "One of the ways that sleep helps the neurons stay ...

The phrase "neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in human brains, but neurons grown in a dish don't seem to follow these rules. Neurons that are cultured ...

A study of nematodes by researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has found that aging-related decline in brain function is caused by the excessive activation of certain neurons over time, rather than ...
