Scientists have developed a powerful new method for selectively and reversibly breaking connections between brain cells—a ...

Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a new type of spintronic device that mimics how synapses work in the ...

Hevin reverses cognitive decline in mice by improving neuronal connections, without affecting amyloid plaque levels.

In Brazil, researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and collaborators from the University of São ...

Ever since humans have existed, the quest for immortality has been a theme of myths and legends. With our advanced technology ...

Researchers have gained comprehensive insights into the entire nervous system of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). The study describes in detail the neurons that span the entire nervous system ...

Researchers expect LICONN technology will be broadly useful to enable high-resolution tissue analysis in other organs and ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies.

Merging neurons with semiconductors signals a shift in brain–machine interface design and neuromorphic engineering.

Neuroplasticity means a process that allows nerve cells to change or adjust. Neuroplasticity can involve functional changes due to brain damage or structural changes in learning.

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks ...
