An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...

Carnegie Mellon research professor Dave Touretzky says teaching students about generative artificial intelligence is like teaching them about electricity: It should involve a general explanation of ...

Immunotherapy that blocks microglial Fcγ receptors prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a potential new strategy.
