A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

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

Emergent properties and new neuron types We think of attention as a spotlight or zoom in our brain that focuses on something in our visual field and devotes resources to that area, improving how we ...

In a new study, published in Cell, the research team have overcome this problem by identifying the distinct 'electrical signatures' of different neuron types in the mouse brain, using brief pulses of ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — 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 attention. We do it ...
