The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a ...

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, ...

A photo of adult human neurons in a dish over a black background shows white splotches with thin strands connecting them and with a scale bar of 50 μm. The team tested thiorphan in neuronal cell ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

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 ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...
