Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus ...

A new study shows that prolonging cellular energy in brain cells helps transform fleeting experiences into lasting memories.

Discover why we stop scratching. Researchers identify spinal cord neurons that signal when an itch is satisfied, offering ...

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial ...

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...

It’s not just in your legs. Scientists have discovered a "fitness switch" in the brain that must be flipped after a workout for your body to actually build endurance.

Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research published in Science shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their ...

Imagine you're navigating a city like New York, or any other that's laid out on a grid. Suppose you run into a roadblock as you're heading north. How do you know that you can turn to your left, say, ...
