A study on mice identified a group of neurons in the central amygdala region of the brain that display a unique pattern of ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

Tumours boost their own growth by attracting and then commandeering nearby sensory neurons, a study finds. By ‘plugging into’ tumour cells, these neurons can send a signal to the brain that subdues ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal injury research.

Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C ...

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

The ability to make simple reaching motions or drive a car depends on the brains ability to guide action in a region of the brain called cerebellum. When the interaction of the cells within the ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...

Implantable technologies have significantly improved our ability to study and even modulate the activity of neurons in the brain, but neurons in the spinal cord are harder to study in action. "If we ...
