Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

Dopamine neurons in the midbrain may, with aging, be increasingly susceptible to a vicious spiral of decline driven by fuel shortages, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine (NY, USA) ...

An international collaboration between researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan, the University of Tokyo, and University College London has demonstrated that self-organization ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Head trauma, and many neurological disorders like epilepsy, stroke, or Parkinson's disease, for example, can cause nerve cell damage or death. It was long thought that neurons could not be regenerated ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

A research team led by McGill University has taken a close look at a long-standing idea about Parkinson’s disease and found ...
