The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

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

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

In a groundbreaking achievement, Princeton University scientists have fully mapped the brain of an adult fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, unlocking new insights into how brains work. The feat marks ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

A protein capable of recording incoming chemical signals of brain cells was engineered by scientists, which could decode the ...

Scientists have made an enormous step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- scientifically speaking, a 'connectome' -- through the brain ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the brain’s most important properties is its flexibility ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
