Even if it hasn’t infected your “For You” page yet, the latest iteration of Italian brain rot has been around for roughly half a year. Below, as much sense as we can make about the AI slop the ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

New studies show that astrocytes, long thought to be support cells in the brain, are crucial intermediaries for relaying messages to neurons.

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

The A-2500 ekranoplan was a marvel of Soviet engineering, designed to carry fighter jets and traverse oceans using ground ...

Quantum computing has been lurking in the background for years. Discover 5 cutting-edge science sectors like CRISPR and ...

Breakthroughs in science tend to start with a small step. For scientists in Australia, a small step might offer new hope to patients who are suffering from neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson ...

In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of twenty-three scientists demonstrated that AI can distinguish between different brain cell types from activity recordings of mice ...

The study found that astrocytes, a type of support cell in the amygdala—the brain’s emotion center—has a specific type of brain receptor that limits stress-induced fear. But stress skews its ...

Using mouse models and human cells, the team of neuroscientists has demonstrated that hallucinogens hold the potential to reshape communication between brain cells and the immune system. "Our study ...
