Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement ...

Researchers found that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, via the UPF2 protein, is crucial for neuronal migration and cortical ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury.

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...
