(Science Photo Library/Canva) Exercise works wonders throughout the human body, including the brain. Research suggests an ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Recent technological advances have opened new exciting possibilities for the development of smart prosthetics, such as artificial limbs, joints or organs that can replace injured, damaged or amputated ...

Researchers have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...

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 ...

What goes wrong first in the Alzheimer’s disease brain? Scientists led by Marc Aurel Busche of the U.K. Dementia Research Institute at University College London may have an answer. In the May 7 Neuron ...

Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are ...
