Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

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

Husniye Kantarci was part of a team that discovered the role of glial cells in controlling neural development, learning and numerous diseases. Husniye Kantarci and Brad Zuchero (left to right) and ...

We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...

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 ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine, led by Bindu Paul, an associate professor of pharmacology, psychiatry and neuroscience ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...
