When it comes to brain health, it’s less about avocado versus salmon and more about how they work together. Salmon delivers DHA and EPA, which provide structural support for brain cells. Avocados ...

What makes the human brain so unique? A clue might come from a recent study that reports the discovery of new brain cells: novel neurons ...

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 ...

A conserved glucagon signaling pathway links high-fat diet-induced metabolic imbalance to cardiac arrhythmia through hormone-producing cells and heart-innervating neurons that regulate rhythmicity.

A structural protein best known for building the internal scaffolding of cells may double as a natural defense against the ...

Photonics is gaining momentum as a platform for high-speed AI computing. Researchers in Singapore have demonstrated a passive, ultrafast, and integration-ready all-optical nonlinear activation ...

“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.

"This is biological proof that their brains are more plastic, and a real discovery that shows that neurogenesis of young ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in whom the ability wanes, finds a study published today in Nature. The authors ...

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

New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during prenatal brain development than scientists previously believed. This ...

A recent study examines why Alzheimer's presents and progresses differently in individuals using advanced biological analysis ...
