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 ...

Salmon provides DHA and EPA, key omega-3s that support brain structure and reduce inflammation. Avocados offer ...

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

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, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

To enable more accurate estimation of connectivity, we propose a data-driven and theoretically grounded framework for optimally designing perturbation inputs, based on formulating the neural model as ...

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

Panpsychism, the philosophical position that consciousness is a fundamental and widespread feature of the physical world, has moved from the margins of academic debate into serious scientific ...

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

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

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