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 ...

The researchers found that specific neurons increased their electrical firing rate just before certain components of speech, ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people worldwide. Synapses are points of communication between neural cells that ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Orange-arrow loop: Intracranial electrophysiological data are captured by macro-microelectrodes from the subject’s brain and streamed to the data acquisition device and a host computer, where the data ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

The device has helped a man with motor neuron disease communicate and control his computer for nearly two years.

Neuroscientist Paul Nuyujukian likens the brain to a stadium full of people. To eavesdrop on the crowd you could put a microphone in the middle of the stadium. But to understand the conversations you ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...
