The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster for longer ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Background The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a key brain region for dopamine production and the regulation of reward-related behaviors. While dopaminergic neurons have traditionally been considered ...

A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the ...

AI-powered gene maps reveal the hidden control centers driving Alzheimer’s disease — and point to new hope for treatment.

Obstructive sleep apnea disrupts brain function in several ways, including low oxygen levels, interrupted sleep, and vascular risk. Several regions throughout the brain may shrink, and the ...

Life Biosciences is pushing cellular rejuvenation into the clinic with ER-100, an experimental gene ...

How did the complexity of many organisms living today evolve from the simpler body plans of their ancestors? This is a central question in biology. Take our hands, for example: Every time we type a ...

Scientists may have stumbled across a network of vessels in the brain that helps clear out waste fluid – a discovery that could "represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of all neurodegenerativ ...

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...
