The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

A new method of CCM using which connections between neurons can be inferred based on the causal relationships between spike train data. Understanding the brain’s functional architecture is a ...

A research team has demonstrated how the energy levels of individual neurons in the brain change during so-called spreading depolarizations -- waves of activity that occur in various brain disorders.

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...

Scientists identify a "master regulator" that may reset Brain Aging by controlling tau and gene expression in neurons.

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons — the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain — are equipped with “backup batteries” that kick in to keep the brain running during ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein can prevent neuron death caused by DNA damage and p53 activation in ...

Scientists are still debating whether the human brain is capable of growing new cells past childhood. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...
